Set Auto Number to say something other than "Auto Number"

Is there a way to tell the text field that displays the auto number to say
something different? Like "New Contract Number" or something along those
lines??

Click to expand...

On your form use this for the ControlSource of your TextBox...

=[AutoNumberFieldName]

....instead of...

[AutoNumberFieldName]

That will give you a blank TextBox until an AN is actually assigned rather
then showing (AutoNumber).
