Can anyone help me with reports? I have set up the report which is running fine but I need to add text to the report. The text needs to be on every report and after all the details of the report have calculated. I tried using a text box but this does not work. I also tried copy and paste from a word doc but access does not like it.
 
Why didn't the text box work? A control source of:

="Your text here"

should print the text on the report.
 
I was trying to do this from design view. Is this incorrect?
 
No, that's where I would do it.
 
I just tried it again. When i add the text box save close and reopen the report it comes up with a Entre Parameter Value
 
What exactly are you putting in the textbox? If you don't put it in quotes as I did, Access will assume it's a field name and that will cause a parameter prompt.
 
I'm having the same problem. In the page footer, I have Date() in a text box. I want to put a label in front of it that says "Report Created on" in front of the date. I have no quotes and it's in a seperate box, yet when I view the report, I get a paramater prompt.

Any ideas?
