Instructions on a form? (1 Viewer)

[eyost]

Hi all,

I am creating a database that uses a simple form with fields displayed and a header but I wish to add instructions on the form for the user. The idea I have is to have a text box that is scrollable that contains the instructions. These instructions will not be able to be edited by the user and will appear on every record in the form.

I have tried creating a text box but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,

Put a text box on the form in the detail section. In the properties of the form, paste you instructions (with quotes) into the default value of the form (Data Tab). On the same tab, make sure the Locked property is set to Yes. On the Format Tab, set the Scroll Bars property to Vertical.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Mike,

Thanks, that worked perfectly. I could have sworn I did that but maybe I forgot to use the quotes around the default value information.

Thanks again,

Ed
