Inserting Text in Unbound Text Box

I'm trying to put text in an unbound text box in a form as follows:

Me!txtPriority.Text = "Rush"

This is taking place during the On Activate event procedure for a report.
Initially, I got an error message saying the control had to have the focus.
So I tried

Me!txtPriority.SetFocus

Which gave me an error saying something like the command couldn't be
executed. So I tried DoCmd.GotoControl and I got an error saying the command
wasn't available.

I'm missing something obvious - haven't written VBA in a long time.
 
The default property of a text box is the Value property. Try:

Me!txtPriority = "Rush"
