Label not created when adding new field to form

[Guest]

Access 2003.

I copied a form from another database to my current database. I changed the
forms Record Source to reflect the current database. I went through and
changed the record source for each field as the old database used no spaces
for each field and the new database had spaces. (ie. FirstName vs First
Name). Everything works fine there.

However, when I drag a field from the field list, the label doesn't
populate, but "Text n:" is created as the label as if I had created a fresh
text box not associated with a field. When I check the Record Source for the
new field, it is referencing the correct field.

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks.

Never mind. All of sudden it started working correctly populating the label.
Wierd?

It's likely that the particular field you dragged to the form already had a
textbox bound to it. With a duplicate like this, the form will create a
label of Text n:
