Hi,
Because of the reason that you cann't directly "modify" the value for the
given Edit Boxes a second control (each on for each edit box) could be used
to display the description. So you have both informations on the form.
One solution is to use an display method for that.
Display methods are "specieal" method that display data an forms or reports
and the user cann't modify its value.
To get a better understanding how to work with display method please take a
look at:
