how to create a form with only text

[Summer123]

Hi, I want to create a form where all it will do is have a 2 pages worth of wording in it (so there would be a verticle scroll bar) and 2 buttons at the bottom where they would accept or deny, if they accept then the main form opens, if they deny then it would close out the access database. What i am hung at right now is what would i use to dispay this text? is it text box? lable? can someone please help?

Textbox or Richtext box would work.

thanks DJkarl!
i did that but now i want it so it looks up the vlaue in the table where i have all the text in a field. How do i do that? I went to control source and did the following but it doesnt display anything

ControlSource: =DLookUp([longtext_text],[longtext])

also tried
ControlSource: longtext_text

i know this cant be that hard but i cant seem to figure it out... please help

Bind the table to the form and to control to the textbox. Then make the control disabled and locked.

On the form itself you can set the recordsource property to your table, then set the textbox source to the field name that has your text.

thank you!!!! that worked.
Ok so right now it highlights all the text in black, how can i make it so that its plain and not highlighted?

On the forms load event you could set focus to another control, or set the textbox's enabled property to false, this will make all the text greyed out, but I think you will lose the scrollbar if it is not enabled.
