Write over label inside text box?

[Bkper087]

Is it possible to create a write over label that would appear inside a text box? For instance the field [FirstName] would have the word "First" inside the text box in a light gray as a label that would disappear when text is entered.

Have you considered using a default value for the field

In the format property of the textbox try entering

@;"First"

To get a grey prompt for this example, set the control forecolor to grey, then the format property could be

[Black]@;"Enter First Name"

This will cause the entered text to be in black
