Hi
I have a report that is made of 4 subreports. There is no actual
information in the main report, and the record source is empty. In
the Header section of the main report, I have a text box and I want
some user input to go in there every time the report is run. I'm
putting =[Enter something:] into the control source but it comes up as
#Name? when I run the report.
If I put something in the record source for the main form, the text
box/user input bit works but for some reason my 2 page report is
repeated numerous times, depending on which table or query is in the
record source.
I know very little about SQL code or expressions... has anyone got any
ideas?
Thanks
Clare

You may want to simply build an input form that asks the user for the input
and then, when the user clicks "Go" or something, populates the report.
Hope this helps.

Try using the InputBox function in the control source property of your
text box:
=InputBox("Ente r something","My Title")
Take a look at the InputBox function in Help for a description of its
available parameters. HTH

I have a report that I'd like to filter based on the user's input. The user would select the month and year that they would like to see data from, and the report would return that data along with the selected month and year in the report header, perhaps in an unbound textbox. How would I go about getting the user input and applying the filter to the OpenReport method?
Thanks!

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
