[AccessD] Hiding "AutoNumber" Text on a Form

If what Stephen is asking is as Chris says, then why doesn't Stephen
train his users that "Autonumber" indicates they are not to try to input
anything into that field?  That it will be filled in for them.

If the field is visible then on a new blank record [AutoNumber] appears.
After the record is dirtied the number will appear.
