OK, I can query data from SQL for a report, but can the user then enter text(not to any db field)such as comments at the bottom?
To compound the question, if the user only has the runtime version & not the Designer software....can they run the report then enter text?

You can create a parameter field for the user to enter text (I'm not sure what length limits there are for parameter string fields). Place the parameter at the "bottom" or where ever you want it to print.
You can't run the report and then enter the parameter. Parameters are required first.
