Write a value into an unbound text box in a Report

Write a value into an unbound text box in a Report

Write a value into an unbound text box in a Report

(OP)
I have a need to write several values directly into text boxes in an Access Report. Can someone please explain to me (Access Newbie) how to do this?

RE: Write a value into an unbound text box in a Report

This depends entirely on where the values are coming from and if there are dependencies to the value. Do you simply want the user to enter a value or is it pulled from a table or control on a form or where?

RE: Write a value into an unbound text box in a Report

(OP)
Hi Duane,

I apologize! I didn't state that question very well.

In this situation the data have been entered into a Form by a User and have been brought into VBA code. These variables are all in a Public Subroutine. What I would like to do is to write the value of these 6 variables (some string and some integer) directly to text boxes in a Report. I assume those text boxes would need to be Unbound, but I'm not totally sure of that.

Thanks,

Ron

Memory variables all have a scope of visibility so variables created in forms are only available in the form. There are also global variables and tempvars. Check Juan Soto’s article at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog...
