Newbie to access. I have a data entry form with a tabbed subform to collect data on different subjects. There is some background information that would be useful to the user completing this form. I want to show/hide this memo field (long text) based on a checkbox or similar unbound control. I do not need the memo field or the unbound control form to be stored in the underlying table. i have searched and tried several options but none seem to work. This seems like a simple takes to this newbie but i cannot make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi. Welcome to AWF!

You could try adding a subform to display the memo or maybe use DLookup().
 
More elaboration may be helpful.

The unbound memo field contains text that the end user may need to refer to in responding to other other elements of the form (its a legal citation) that does not need to be captured in the database.
