This object represents a text box control on a form or report. Text boxes are used to display data from a record source, display the results of a calculation, or accept input from a user.

Text boxes can be either bound or unbound. You use a bound text box to display data from a particular field. You use an unbound text box to display the results of a calculation, or to accept input from a user (as in the following code example).
Example
The following code example uses a form with a text box to receive user input. The code displays a message when the user inputs data and then presses Enter.
Private Sub txtValue1_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "The Text box is being updated."
End Sub
