Text boxes display #Name?

[Guest]

Using Office 2003 and Windows XP:

I have a couple labels on a form with a subform and everytime the mouse goes
over the labels they flicker. I read that a way to correct this is to change
the labels to locked text boxes instead; problem is when the form is
displayed, rather than the text entered in the box I get: #Name?

How can I get this to work?

Thanks for your assistance.

You can't just set the Control Source property of the boxes to:
Show this text

Use:
="Show this text"
