You've probably already checked these but..
Have yo looked at both Properties and Advanced Properties?
Also have you tried right-lcicking the text boxes and then selecting edit?

I'm creating a custom contacts form. Some of the labels & accompanying text
boxes seem to be setting up fine. With some of the labels & accompanying text
boxes the labels are appearing inside the text boxes as well. I've checked
the displays & values for both sets of text boxes & both sets of labels and
can't find any difference. What is causing this to happen or how do I prevent
it from happening? I've even tried deleting text boxes & labels & then
recreating them to no avail. These are all for user-created/defined fields.
Could I be doing something wrong in the design phase? If so, what?
