Hi Lee

You could use the on current event on the form

txtbox = field & """"

Hi Lee, if you just want the text box to display the quote without actually adding it to the data, you could just use the format property of the text box:

Format: @ /";

This is in the form property dialog, you don't even need vba for it. In case it isn't showing up, that's the at-sum symbol @ followed by a space, the forward slash and just one double quote then a semi-colon. The space is optional if you do or don't want it for your display.

If you do use this approach, you would need to add it in every form or report you wanted to see that in or you can add it to the format property of the field in the table.

And of course, Richard has videos on using format:

Text Box Hints

to name just a couple.

In essence, if the text box is displaying a text value (or number stored as text) anything you place in the format property before a semicolon will be displayed along side the text you enter as long as the @ symbol is included. If you omit the @ symbol then whatever you put in the format property will be displayed regardless of what is entered unless the field has focus. After the semi-colon you can enter something to display if the field is null.

Thank you for your advise. I will give it a try.

Donald It needs to be a backslash, not a forward slash.

Thank you Kevin. I been struggling trying to figure what I was doing wrong. That solved it. Thank you
