You have to do it the way I said or run a macro to set the value of the Body property.

Sue - Clicked on Send to fast. I got it to work the way you noted.
Thank you. However, I was able to get access to the field in Design
view. That is what I was trying to figure out.

Sue - Thanks. I may have stated my question incorrectly. I'm in the
design part of the form. When I click on the Notes field, this is
where I want to enter default text so whenever I create a new contact,
those notes will already be listed. When I click on the notes field,
it is active, but I can't get it to where there is a cursor in the
Notes field so I can enter text. I tried F2, F5, etc. Its kind of
like the Initial Value for the field.
