text input

[Mike Powell]

I have a working DB, which gets the relevant data and creates a report. What I want to do is input a customer name as required. The name only wants to be input at that time, and may differ on each occasion. Basically it’s a text input for one use only. I don’t even want to save it.

You want to prompt the user to enter a text value that will be included on the report?

Add a text box to your report and for the control source enter something like =[Type the name in here]

Each time the reoprt is run, you will be prompted to "Type the name in here"

Works a treat. Thanks.
