Hi Rocky Everyone seems to forget your original question. The elegant solution to this is to use the Format property of the TextBox inserting the shadow text for the "format" for Null: @;"Enter activity" /gustav >>> rockysmolin at bchacc.com 30-03-2009 00:37 >>> I could but then that would put that value into the record. He just wants a 'label' describing what should go into the field in case there no value there. Some of these are bound combo boxes where the bound column is the Autonumber ID and the first column showing is some kind of descriptive data.
