You can set the default value of the text box to "Username". Just go into the form in design view and under Properties>Data>DefaultValue write "Username".

I am not 100% sure I understand the latter half of your question but I think you want it to be emptied when entered. So in the On Enter event for the textbox control write something like:

Me.ControlName=""

In the format property of the textbox insert:

@;"Username"
