I ned to conserve space on a screen in design and want to put the label for a
text box inside of the text box in order to conserve the label space. Does

Tablesdbdesign really isn't the place to ask this, as this isn't something
you'd do in a table.
On a form/report, put a textbox control (without a label) and set its
control source to
="Some Label " & [name of field]
Ensure that the name of the textbox control is not named the same as [name
of field]
e.g.. if your field is called Customer, name the textbox txtCustomer.

Of course, that will result in the text box not being updatable.
For another approach, take a look at my February, 2004 "Access Answers"
column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access" where I show how to simulate
XP Cue Banners. You can download the column (and sample database) for free
