My data entry form needs to include a field for extended comments from the user. TMemo appeared to be the best choice for that, but I don't see how to get rid of the Memo1 text that automatically appears in it. Most of the other data entry fields have a 'Text' property that can be cleared, but TMemo does not. I see how to clear it when the user enters the field, and have done so, but I don't want the 'Memo1' text to appear there at all. Is there not some way to prevent that?
