Set the default control type for a data access page

1. Open the data access page in Design view.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select Page.
3. In the property sheet, click the Data tab.
4. In the DefaultControlType property box, select Text Box or Bound Span.

Notes

• If the first control that you add to the page is a bound span control, the DefaultControlType property is automatically set to Bound Span.
• Changing the default control type does not affect the controls that are already on the page.
• To override the default control type setting for a field, make sure the tool that you want is selected in the toolbox, and then add the field to the page.
• Using bound span controls improves the performance of the page.

  Security  Use bound span controls or hyperlink controls with caution. Unauthorized users may be able to insert harmful HTML text into these controls. Processing this text without validation or modification could result in the loss of personal information or other data. To prevent the HTML text contained in a control from being rendered, encode the contents of the control.
