Isladogs - I think that is a good idea. I'm honestly just worried about the time it would take me to create something I could share. I'm not the best programmer...so the nuts and bolts of the database are probably a bit hairy. I'm on a bit of a deadline and I have some naysayers I need to...

Just as a follow up: I created a copy of my report and made the report header smaller. It did help with the bug related to moving fields in the details section (there's still some weird jumping when I move things, but I can move them again), but doesn't seem to have really helped with the...

Isladogs and June7 - thank you both for your help! I still can't actually create the chart within the report, but I found that if I create it with the correct WHERE clause in a different form I can then copy and paste it into my report and it works! Thank you!! I know that's not the most...

Hi Paul, Thank you for your response! I haven't tried the wizard yet, but I will if I can't figure it out another way. One of my main goals is to really understand the full manual process so that I will be able to build upon it and develop better and more complex features in the future. I'm...

Hi - I apologize that this is a very basic question that has already been answered, but I cannot find the answer anywhere. I am new to Access and need a bit of a play-by-play for this particular question in order to start really making progress. I have a table full of "risk items". Each "item"...
