When a field that uses an Autonumber is displayed on a form, is it possible to make it display nothing in the field prior to entering a new record. Usually it displays the words AutoNumber and I don't want it to.

Ra,
You could use an unbound, and set the controlsource to =IIF(isnull([autonumberfield]),"",[autonumberfield])
