Stephen, thanks for the reply.

>My question is why would you disable ALL the Form objects on a page? What's the point of having a form?<

Good question - in fact there is one non-disabled control on the form, a submit button taking the user back to the previous page.  Otherwise the data displayed on the form must be readonly, hence the need for all other controls to be disabled.  I was looking for an easy way to disable the whole page, then just enable the submit button.
