I am trying to create a report using design view. I double click "new report
in design view" and when i add a text box, i can not seem to figure out how
to set the table for the row source that i want. the other problem is i want
different fields to come from different tables that are all linked. how do i
set the row source for each field individually? thank

hi,
in design view, click the small square in the upper left
corner of the report. then click properties.
on the property sheet click the record source.
here is usually put the name of a query or a table.
the individual text boxes will be bound to field from the
query or table.
so write your query first and use it as the record source
for the report.
