Unbound Text box in reports

[Overdive]

Hello



I am generating a report from a form with no problem.
However I added an unbound textbox to the report (in design view). Basically the textbox is to serve as comment from the users but every time I type, the text disappears... Is there a way to have unbound textbox so user can type on the report before printing? or is it just not possible in Access?

Thank you

One way to do this is to make a form (dialog) with the textbox. The control source of the textbox on your report should be: =Forms![name form]![name control on form].

Make sure that the form isn't closed, so make the VBA or macro to set the form to visible. VBA: Forms![name form].visible = false Macro: Setvalue, visible, no.

Good luck!
