    Table Bound to Form Label

    Is it possible to bound a label on a form to a table? If so, can someone please explain how.

    Thanks in advance.

    Labels cannot be bound to any data source. Only textboxes can be. You can use formatting to make a textbox act/look like a label (set background to transparent, set locked to Yes and Enabled to No so that you can't click in it, etc.).

      also remove the textbox from the tab order in the control's tab stop property.

        Ah, I forgot that one. Also, make the border style transparent as well.

        Basically, you can just make all the formatting settings the same as any of your labels (assuming that you haven't changed the default settings). Tab stop though wouldn't be seen by comparing the settings, so good catch Z.

          Thanks, Seth and zmbd.

          I didn't think you could.
