Tool Tip in text box that disappears when clicked?

[Hammy1]

Hello, I have user form that has multiple text boxes and I would like to have a tooltip in the textbox that is always visible but disappears once the user activates the box. I currently use the 'Value' field in the text box properties but then the user has to delete the text prior to entry. Is there a way to do this?

Hi .. There are several ways to accomplish this, but you could use the TextBox1_Enter()

I tried your suggesting but it adds the "text" when I click in the box. I need the text to appear when the form is opened and dissappear when the textbox is clicked.

What exactly do you want?

A tooltip? Or text actually in the textbox that will disappear as soon as it's entered, and perhaps re-appear on leaving if nothing is entered?

The text to actually be in the text box that will disappear as soon as data is entered. I have the tool tips already but most people don't read them

Thanks'

You could use an IF statement based on what you are putting in for your tooltip....
