User Form Text Box - auto delete prompt text
Hi Guys,
I have a text box that I am using to record date of birth. I am using the DD/MMM/YY format to avoid US / UK format confusion. I have written the text 'DD/MMM/YY' in the text box as a prompt for the user to enter the correct date format. At the moment when the user clicks the Date of Birth text box they either need to delete the 'DD/MMM/YY' text or press insert to overwrite it. Is it possible to get this text to automatically delete once the text box is clicked? I have searched the group but can't find anything - any help would be great!! Thanks in advance Paul |
