[ghayman73]

i am trying to insert string into a text box i think??

i would like a text box to say something like this

Hello "keyword" welcome to this form.

where the keyword is say someones name which is in another field. Is this possible.

p.s. it doesnt have to be a text box but i would like it to display on a form somehow.

Create a label and then, via the OnOpen event of the form (or whatever) set the Caption property of the label to something like this:

YourLabel.Caption = "Hello" & CurrentUser & "welcome to this form."

If the control (field) with "Keyword" in it is called txtKeyword, then the source of the text box you are trying to fill should be something like:

="Hello " & txtKeyword & ", welcome to this form."
