I don't think that labels have a default property - text boxes do. For a text box, the default value in in properties, under Data.

LOL. I forgot my laptop (with 2003 on it) when I visited a client the other day, so I was forced to work in 2007. Such fun. I was trying to set the default setting for a label on a form. I just could not find where they hid that piece. In 2003 you select a control, get it set up the way you want - font, font size, back color etc - and then format / set control defaults on the menu. In 2007 there is no menu of course. Does anyone know where they hid that function in 2007? Is anyone using Access 2010? this client is a nonprofit and they purchased 10 copies of Access 2010 for cheap. I am wondering if I need to know anything before I go upgrade them. AFAICT they have full office 2007 on the three computers in their office. Other than installing Access 2010 in its own directory, is there any other caution? And does 2010 runtime work the same way as 2007? -- John W.
