What do you mean by "window"? Do you mean a text box? Is the information
going to be stored in your table or just printed on a report? If you don't
want to save what gets typed in, just create a text box with a control
source like:

=[Enter some text here]

Sorry, yes a text box but I want to save the info so each time it is printed
on my invoice , unless I change the text box message at a later date..Thanks

Create a one record table and add your text into a field. Add this table to
your report's record source and add the field with the text to the grid so
you can display it in the report.

You recently stated "Looks like I have to add it to my record source ".. you
are correct. I have twice suggested that you add the table containing the
field to your report's record source.

If you are having trouble finding the record source, view the report

Sorry, yes a text box but I want to save the info so each
time it is printed on my invoice , unless I change the text
box message at a later date..Thanks Bob
message What do you mean by "window"? Do you mean a text box? Is the
information going to be stored in your table or just printed
on a report? If you don't want to save what gets typed in,
just create a text box with a control source like:

=[Enter some text here]

I want to have a window on my form so as what ever I type
into it will appear on my Invoice. I already have 6 other
windows that do the same thing to that Invoice.

Who/what is your "coder"?
I repeat, "What is the SQL view of your query and which field are you
looking for?"

This is what my coder said about it:
You did everything correct. Just need to add this new field in the select
sql statement that brings data for the report. It is written in the Open
event of Repot(Invoice)
Thanks Bob....What did I actually do wrong?

I have been doing that but my Field that I have in the table is not

"Record Source" is a property of every report. Click the builder button
[...] to the right of this property to go to the designer.

Thanks , where do I find query designer exactly...Bob

You have to add tblCompanyInfo table to the query/record source of
your report. Right click in the background of the top pane of the
query designer and choose to add a table.

BottomComment was the new field I added to CompanyInfo:
I cant find it in Report/Prop/control source /data/rptInvoice, but I
do find it under tables futher down as
Tables/tblCompanyInfo/BottomComment
Thanks Bob

You recently stated "Looks like I have to add it to my record
source ".. you are correct. I have twice suggested that you add the
table containing the field to your report's record source.

If you are having trouble finding the record source, view the
report properties and find the Data tab.

In Properties of Text box I can add things from rptInvoice/Report
but my tbBottomComment is not there I do find in down in
tables/tblCompanyInfo but it will not copy from there..Thanks Bob

Ok I added a new field called BottomComment to my CompanyInfo and
it works when I type some thing in to it, because when I F11 I
can see what I typed into the form. But On my report I can not
find BottomComment?
Looks like I have to add it to my record source , where would I
start
Thanks for your help

I had a coder from RAC developed a Statement/Invoice programme and I was
trying to enhance it, so I emailed him my attempt and he told me what I did
wrong, but it went over my head, thought you may be able to tell me what I
did wrong in lay language..Thanks Bob

He probably can. But Bob, you need to help. Duane is a brilliant guy,
but he's not telepathic and he cannot tell what you did wrong with
your query - because *he cannot see your query*.

Please open the query in design view. On the Menu, select "View" and
choose the "SQL" option. You will see a screen full of SQL code.

Copy and paste that code to a message here. It is the query, and Duane
or I or most of the other volunteers here can read it easily, and from
it hopefully determine the answer to your question.
