scrollbar on a text box

[JT]

Users enter information in a text box and push a button.
The information they enter is displayed in a second text
box.

I have scrollbars set to 3 (both) and the text box enabled.
To view the scrollbars, the user has to click in the text
box. However, this allows them to change data in the
second text box, which we really don't want.

What I would like is for both scroll bars to be visible
and active for the user so they can scroll through the
information but not have the text box enabled so they can
change or enter new data. Is this possible?

If not, then my second choice,is to automatically "click
somewhere in the second text box" so the scrollbars are
visible and active for the users.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the
help.........

JT,

Do not disable the textbox. use the lock propery to lock changes but still
allow the textbox to initiate events, such as displaying scroll bars
