Add a field to a report

[Sanjo]

I have searched and read how to add a field to a report in access 2010 using the Field List, but I can not get it to work. I have selected the field I want ant 'dropped' it onto my report. It displays two of the same field in the header, but how do I then create the space below that title for the actual data to appear? I am sorry, but I have forgotten how to do it.

Thanks Bob. I have a picture of the Query that includes the field I want and a picture of the report that I want to add the field to, but I am not sure how to send those to you.

Sorry Bob, but this is maddingly. I go down to the 'Additional Options' section and click on the 'manage Attachments', but I get no response. The browse and upload options do not come up. nothing happens. when I click on 'manage attachments' a "Error on Page" message appears.

Double click on the field which you want to add. It will appear in duplicate as you said. One is for header and one is for detail. If you need tabular format, right click on the inserted field, select Layout and then tabular.

thanks Mahen. That procedure does exactly what I needed. It seperated the header from the detail. The only problem is that it leaves each detail with a 'box' around it.

Thanks Bob and Mahen. Your directions solved my problem and I appreciate your time and patience.
