Text labels in reports
I have a report I am printing off, but I wish to add some static text
to it. I have tried both labels and text boxes. Labels don't show up and text boxes ask for input. What should I be using? Thanks.

Thanks. I use labels for this purpose without problem. Consider where you are putting the labels (experiment!) and whether appropriate properties are set? Phil, London

Thanks. If you use the tool box to add a label, then immediately add some text to it, it should show up as long as its Visible property is Yes. If you add a label without text I think it will disappear when you click outside of it. A text box should work too. Its Control Source would be set to something like: ="Report Title" If you are still having difficulties, describe the steps by which you are adding the label. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...arted/200909/1

When I run the report, nothing shows.

Again, if you describe the procedure by which you add a label it may be possible to identify what is going wrong. You can see it design view but not when you run the form? Try giving it a border, or a back-colour. Any change? Is the property "Visible" set to true? Did the Text box you added appear with a label (as it normally would)? Phil

Also make sure that you didn't put it so far to the right that it is out of
the (margin-limited) allowable area of the page. If so it will go onto a separate (mostly blank) page and thus "disappear" from your desired page.
