Setting the fields to read-only

For a printable form, you do not want users to edit the fields; therefore, you must set the fields to read-only.

1.	In the Hierarchy palette, open the Header subform and select all the text fields (such as PONumber, OrderedBy, OrderedByAddress).

2.	In the Object palette, click the Value tab and, in the Type list, select Read Only.

3.	In the Hierarchy palette, open the Table subform and select the text fields (partNo and description).

4.	In the Object palette, click the Value tab and, in the Type list, select Read Only.

5.	Repeat for quantity, unitPrice, and amount.

6.	Repeat for the items in the Footer subform (except for the SignatureField).
