What's the special character code(s) to have a shadow prompt appear in a text box? Format - @;"Test string" isn't it.

That should work - it does on my test form.
@;"Enter Customer Name"
What type of data is it bound to ?

Something else must be wrong. @;"enter value" works on 4 of the unbound text boxes but not on one of the others.

Maybe the underlying data for that field is not Null but a Zero Length String (or "") as that will fail the Null test.
