L:\ drive is not going to work I'm afraid. See point #9 of
Attach Database (or other work).
Reports are not objects that can be used to manipulate data as a form might be. Things may have changed with reports somewhat in later versions, but on 2003 there are no events available for TextBox controls on a report. 2007 and later may well support clicking events, but I'd be very surprised if they supported changing of data therein. Assuming then, that a click
can be detected in such later versions, we are still looking at modifying the record using a pop-up form triggered by said event. There are likely to be all sorts of locking issues though, as the record is already selected on the report.
I'm not going to comment on your boss's thinking process, but this seems like far too much work even to look into, just for the pleasure of trying to do things the way they
weren't designed to be done.
PS. I'm going to remove your last post as irrelevant to the thread. When you manage to attach the picture I'll help to make it show up properly in the thread if you need it.
