Microsoft Access text box with default text
Is it possible to have default text in a text box. We have a description box for our animals and we want a disclaimer in there for every animal.

We cannot use a label, because this information is sent to Petfinder website.
Please explain For text we can use text1.text = "some text".

sorry that was for .Net, for this we need to use defaultValue property.

Editing the table worked. Thanks to both of you.
FYI, I realize that there is no topic area for Jet/ACE but in reality, if "Access" is the BE for a web page, you are NOT using Access at all. You are using either the Jet (.mdb) or ACE(.accdb) database engine. Access is a RAD tool that is used to create applications. It is NOT a database engine. Access does work as the GUI to Jet and ACE and that appears to cause the confusion. Access is the FE tool and Jet/ACE is the BE database engine.

I have no idea what you are commenting about. We are not using Access for our website/page. The data in the database is transmitted via a text file to PetFinder. They then post our animal information on their website.

No problem
For text we can use text1.text = "some text".
