Adding an informational text box to a form, like a Word/Excel text box

[Scotbot]

Hi, I'm sure this is a really basic question but I can't seem to find how to do it.

All I want to do is add a paragraph of explanatory text in a box, to my form. Something like 'Welcome to the xxx application. Please remember that xxxxx etc'

I've tried labels and they let me enter text in them but in form view it shows an error instead.

I've managed to build an app that works with MSSQL but I can't seem to find out how to put some notes on the screen!

Cheers, Scott.

Sorted, I was using labels incorrectly. I overlooked the 'caption' field.

Thanks!

I can't understand why you would be getting a error in a label

What is the information you are trying to insert in the label?

It will show an error if you type in #Error

I just added a label and started typing. It was definitly user error becuase I deleted it and tried again and it was fine. The first time it had unusual properties for a label, no caption value for example. All sorted now, thanks.
