ms-access: can a control source be plain text?

Question

i need the control source for a textbox to simply be "x"

i have a bunch of textboxes on a report and i need each text box to just have an x in it

Answer 1

You can set the Control Source property for the TextBox to be:

="x"

This will cause the text box to display an x in the report. However, its contents will not be editable as would be the case with a text box in a form.
