Jim: In your code there does table1 mean I have to create a table in the front end with one record?

Set the Default to "Date Worked and then use conditional formatting with the default. Something like: SELECT "0" as ID,"Date Worked" as Test FROM table1 UNION SELECT Table1.ID, Table1.field2 FROM Table1; Then use conditional formatting when the field value is 0.

I couldn't seem to get it to work after fooling with it for a couple of minutes. Again - that old cost/benefit thing. He doesn't want me to spend two hours trying to figure it out.

SO the format of the record on the continuous would have to change based on the record. I don't think you can do that in a continuous form. I'm also thinking the cost/benefit is not in the client's favor. :) Rocky -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 9:28 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Empty Field Label Rocky, sounds like a class to me, and in lieu of that, can't you create a function using an input mask property that you could just call rather than dealing with each individual control? You could use the label's caption as the text, right? Don't know how to help with the combo box problem.
