this is hopefully a rather basic question...i am creating a report in which i would like to retrieve data from multiple queries...my question is this though, after creating textboxes and trying to retrieve the data i can not figure out how to use the expression builder to define the control source...the name of the first query i would like to call is "spanishTestQuery" and it returns three values...how would i get the this text box to return the first value from the query using expression builder?

You dont need an exporession builder for your textbox. If the report is bound to a query, all you have to to is click on the controlsource of any textbox you have and select a field.

thats the problem...i have not linked the report to a query because i have not figured out (or it is not possible) to link multiple queries to a single report with the wizard.
