    UnBound List Box to hold info on a report until print?

    I have an Unbound List Box I've added to a report that I want to use to just toggle "actions" for each record on the report. However, when I go to print the report, any change made to the unbound list box (circled below in image) disappears. Is it possible to keep these intact for printing purposes? I want the list box to be a user-input and not based on data from underlying forms/tables. If not a YES/NO checkbox that could be selected individually per line of report would work however I had a similar problem trying to implement that.

    I may be going out on a limb but doubt it - nope, can't do that.

    Maybe you can put an unbound textbox control with a DLookup expression under your combo. just throwing the idea out there. I might look for another, entirely different, solution. But it looks like you have gone pretty far down the road with your report, already.

    DLookup based on what criteria? Apparently this is supposed to be a subjective decision by user. If there are some standards to determine the Action, then yes, that can be coded into an algorithm.

    Thank you June. That's what I suspected but just wanted to double-check.
