Yes, I'm suggesting using textTableItem or one of it's variants. You'd have
to catch events when the field was set up, so that you could tell it to be
read-only, and to get rid of the underline. I haven't tried this. It's just
a direction you could explore. I've generally gone for a custom draw
procedure to solve this problem. It works well, but doesn't allow the user
to select and copy the text.

Subject: Re: Simple table question.
Are you talking about having the field set to type "textTableItem"? If so,
how can I make it read only?
Thank you.
