MS Access Forum / New Users / February 2008Text on a report
I know this should be simple, but I can't add a text box to an existing report. When I add the text info and try to run the report it comes up with a Parameter Value box that wants info. What I am trying to do is put text on a report that will always print on that particular report. What is the correct way to do this? Thanks in advance. >I know this should be simple, but I can't add a text box to an existing > report.

You don't want a text box (which needs a data source). What you need is a label. That's just a box with text in it. Tom Lake Thanks so much - I knew it was probably simple.... > >I know this should be simple, but I can't add a text box to an existing > > report.

Who says you can't add a text box to a report? Add an unbound text control to the report. Set it's control source to something like: ="This is my text." The above text will always print on the report. If you use = [Enter your text] you will be prompted to enter the text. What ever you enter will appear on the report. =  SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup.

Yeah, but why waste the extra resources with a text box when a label control will display text without the overhead? Tom Lake |
