[AccessD] Set text box default value to nothing

Susan,

  Watch out on the form Open Event.  Controls may or may not exist yet.  If
you really need to use that event (because it is cancelable), then issue a
Me.Repaint before trying to work with any control.

 If you don't care about the ability to cancel, then work with controls in
the OnLoad event.  At that point, all controls have been created.

Jim.

Lambert, it works if I move the code to the form's Open event, but good to 
know about the persistent thing -- will try to remember it. I had expected 
that since it was happening in real-time, that the new setting would _not_ 
be saved when the form closed. Not sure I understand why it is, but good to 
know just the same.
