    Need help finding a text box in an Access report.

    Help



    I’ve inherented a fairly obtuse access database from a colleague who left. I’m an experienced beginner at Access (I’ve written a union query in SQL but haven’t spent too much time writing queries). Unfortunately, I have a report with a text box labeled txt_Final_Value that a bunch of other text boxes reference. I need to change the equation in txt_Final_Value but I can’t find the blessed text box in the design view of the report. It’s starting to drive me crazy. There’s got to be a way to access the equation in said text box through the menus at the top window, but I can’t figure it out. Please help, I need to figure this out.

    in report design mode, in the propety window
    click the combo box at the top of all properties,
    select txt_Final_Value from the list
    it will highlite on the report,
    now look at the source property to change
