prob with sort in report (query fields dont show up)?

[_Bigred]

Using Office XP - Access
.............

I have a query that is based on a main table. When I run the query
everything works good, all fields from the table show up in the query.

However when I use the report wizard, and use the query as the source.. it
doesn't show the
Name field from the query
Category field from the query

I have deleted the report, and tried to recreate it but no luck.
I have tried to remove some fields from the report (to make sure I was
limited) - the query has about 15 fields that I want to show in the report
(then print in landscape mode).

TIA,
_Bigred

Are you suggesting the Name field is only missing in the Wizard? This might
be because name is a poor name for an object that has a name property. You
can always modify a report once the wizard finishes.

Main Table --> memo field named "Name" and field named "category"

switched Main Table --> memo field named "Name" to "PresetNAME", it is
visible on my queries but as soon as I create a report neither of these 2
fields show up? In the query they are selected to be shown?

Do you need them to show up in the wizard? Do you realize you can't sort or
group by a memo field?

Hello Duane,

Bam!! I changed the fields to text fields and that fixed my problem.

Can't believe that I missed that somehow. Thanks for the help.
