Qry linked form wont allow to add text box

[reboot_computers]

Hi

I am using Office 2007 and have a form that is linked to a query, also I have a sub form linked to the same query. I cant understand why both forms say in their properties that they are linked to a query but when I try and add a text box to show customer ID it tries to show data from a table

When you say the forms are linked to a query I assume you mean the the forms record source property is set to this query.

...when I try and add a text box to show customer ID it tries to show data from a table

where else would you expect it to show data from.
