need to put label inside text box
Tablesdbdesign really isn't the place to ask this, as this isn't something
you'd do in a table. On a form/report, put a textbox control (without a label) and set its control source to ="Some Label " & [name of field] Ensure that the name of the textbox control is not named the same as [name of field] e.g.. if your field is called Customer, name the textbox txtCustomer. -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP "Ron1380" wrote in message ...

Of course, that will result in the text box not being updatable.
For another approach, take a look at my February, 2004 "Access Answers" column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access" where I show how to simulate XP Cue Banners. You can download the column (and sample database) for free at http://www.accessmvp.com/djsteele/SmartAccess.html -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Joan Wild" wrote in message ...
