Since I will not be the only one using the database, I would like to make the
popup box read "Enter the Contact ID" or something other than
"Table!Contacts!ContactID" so that people using the database will know what
the popup is asking for. Is this possible to do? Thanks!

The prompt text is whatever you put between the square brackets so just use...

[Enter the Contact ID]

Hi,
you can replace your parameter with something like:
[Enter the Contact ID:] - then you will get this text as prompt
