[AccessD] An Interesting question

Doug:

The problem is that the client doesn't want to have anything in the field -
just wants to display in the field (without actually having that data go
into the table) what is essentially what would be the label for the field if
there was room for a label.

Seems like this could be done in the record source query using an imediate
if statement to handle the null condition for the field.

A client writes in to ask:

"Can combo boxes and text boxes be configured to display a pre-selected text
if the field is null or the record is new.  For example, could the fields on
the TimeSheet that have no labels have the "labels" show on the combo box or
text box until a user enters something for that field? "

These are bound combos and text boxes.  I can think of a couple kludgey ways
to do this - overlays with label text that are visible only if there's
nothing in the field would be one.  But is there a really good way?
