Issue with Splash Screen

Access 2003

Have developed a Form to be used as a "Splash Screen"

There are no intended variables on the Form. That said,

When I move from Design View to Object View, two of the text boxes become
filled with

#NAME?

I am guessing that Access is assuming that it needs a variable source.

How do I make my Form act like a static opening picture not a data request?


TIA Dennis
 
Did you set values for the Control Source for the text boxes? If so, what
are they?
 
Good Morning Doug

I did not as I am not requesting data from any table. I just wish to display boilerplate
information i.e. Client Name and Title of Application.

Am I being clear?
 
The only reason I can think of for the #NAME? error is that the text box is
looking for its data from somewhere, therefore I'm trying to determine
what's causing the error.

If the text isn't going to change, you probably should need Labels, not Text
Boxes.
 
Good Catch!

I guess a Text Box wants data from a source.

All is working, my timer and all EXCEPT.

A gray background only when the form is "Run"

The background is not present in the Design View only in "Display Mode"

OK, I have Pic file as background

On that background I now have two Label Boxes

When "run" the Labels Boxes and Pic display but I have a Blue-Gray background
extending to the right and at the bottom about 1/2 inch larger than the Pic used
as background

How do I get rid of that?

TIA
