    Editable text box in reports

    I've created a report from a table that populates, based on criteria entered by a user in a form/UI. On the report I have a Notes field that contains info added to the table "notes" field for each individual entry. I'd like the Notes on the report that is pulled up to be editable, in case the user has additional information they'd like to add and have saved to the table for future reference. I've snooped around on the net a little bit in search of the answer but this forum seems to be the best place to get answers that are clear enough that a novice can understand and implement them. Does anybody have an answer for me?


    As always, thank you for your input!!

    reports dont have enabled boxes. Reports are not editable
    You edit on the form.

    You could click in the textbox in Report view, but reports are read only. You could adapt this to open a form to edit the note:
