hello,
from some other post I have read that textbox value can be changed throught
the format event of a report section.
If this is true, why this code wont work?
<code>
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
   Application.Echo False
   Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
   Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
   Dim ctl As Control
   rst.Open "tblabs", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
   Dim i As Integer
   With rst
       .Filter = "strpazid='" & Forms("totali").codfisc & "'"
       For Each ctl In Reports("reportabs2").Controls
           If ctl.Name Like "q*" Then
               Select Case .Fields(ctl.Name)
               Case Is = 1
               ctl.Value = "SI"
               Case Is = 0
               ctl.Value = "NO"
               Case Is = 9
               ctl.Value = "N/A"
               End Select
           End If
       Next ctl
   End With
</code>

It stops on whene trying to write value for the first ctl saying "You cannot
assign value to this object".

thanks
