Gustav:

That works perfectly.  Thank you. 

But, curious - why does it work?  What is the @ all about?

Is there something similar that can be done with combo boxes?  I have one
with two columns - the first one has width zero and the second non-zero.  I
tried @;"";"Enter Client" but it changes the format to @;";Select Client"
and doesn't display 
The "Enter Client".

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"

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.
