Make Text Invisible
Hello,
I am using Access 2003, Window XP Pro. I use a form control name RequisitionNumber on two separate form, what I hope to achieve with your assistance is not make the RequisitionNumber text be shown on the form that the number does not relate to. In other words, the number is enter on one form but when I go to the other form and scroll through the records the number is visible. I have check the properties section and I am aware of the process to make the control invisible, I am hoping to make the text invisible. Thank you for your assistance. -- Tim |

Make Text Invisible
Tim,
maybe put an unbound textbox over that control. Make the unbound text box locked so users can't type in it and remove its tab stop. Make sure this textbox is in front of the real field's control. Note, I haven't tested this. Jeanette Cunningham -- Melbourne Victoria Australia "Tim" wrote in message ... Hello, I am using Access 2003, Window XP Pro.

Hello Jeanette, I agree with your suggestion and I can visualize your process
working. An additional suggestion that I was informed on is to try and incorporate a field in the tables for document type to let the form know when to display the requisition number. -- Tim "Jeanette Cunningham" wrote: Tim, maybe put an unbound textbox over that control.
