A label has a caption property.

Me.ThisLabel.Caption="Hello

Yes, but that's not really what they're for. Why not use a textbox?

Use a textbox. Set it's Locked property to True so the user can't change it.

By playing around with the Border and other format properties, you can make it look like a label.

OR

In the Form_Current event, set the caption of the Label, ie.

Me.MyLabel.Caption = Nz(Me.FieldName,"")
