Disable typing in separate MemoFields

[Bart van den Eijnden]

When I use the dbMemoForm method of the created object, it is possible to type into the memo field, is there anyway to set the MemoField to ReadOnly type? Or should I try this using common ASP practices?

Hi Bart,
When you see the memo field that you can type into, you are not actually
modifying the database. I realize this is misleading. The problem is that
ASP-db uses an HTML <FORM><TEXTAREA> as in Programming Example D65 which
allows typing. ASP-db does that because there in NO HTML structure for
displaying a read-only &#34;textarea&#34; that scrolls.

You DO have the option of exporting the memo then displaying it ANY WAY
YOU WANT. See Programming Example D30.

I hope this helps.

Mark.
