    Report Memo Field Showing ?? in Boxes Instead of Results

    Created an Access report. Within the report/data, I have a memo field. The report is pulling the information (memo field and other data collected) from a query. When I display the report, the result in the memo field is ?? - each in a box with a light blue border. The text in the memo field is pretty short (so far) and doesn't reach the character limit. I've set the property to can grow, and still receiving the ?? instead of the results.
    Not sure where to go from here to get the actual data displaying on the report. Need help.....

    Thanks.

    Additional Note;


    The boxes around the ?? marks are actualy black in color. I just created another query playing around with the memo field and see that it's showing up this way in the query as well. Now I'm really not sure what's going on. It's just a memo field.  These are the boxes that are being displayed -- but they have ? in them on my query and report.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Data in the memo field was manually entered? Show the query statement.

    I cannot replicate your issue. Do you want to provide project for analysis?
