Hello friends,
Please, I want to create initial grey text in a Textbox which disabled when I write in that textbox. Is there a property make that or VBA code?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks a lot

Format property: @;"(insert text)"
+ Conditional formatting:
1. Has focus: Font ... normal font color
2. Expression: [yourTextbox] Is Null ... font color: grey

When you say "grey" do you mean make it inactive?

you can do that by setting enabled=false and locked=false, but you can't do that while you are in the text box.

To be fair, you are attempting things I have never thought of doing, in the few years I have used Access.
Here we calling it 'trying to run, before learning to walk'
All this extra code can be omitted, with some little training. When you are using websites, generally no training is available.
