How can you add notes to Reports? I tried adding a text box to the report
design and creating a form to input the notes to link to the reports but it
won't work. I also tried using Expression Builder to import the notes but
that failed as well. I would consider myself a novice at Access and this is
over my head. Please help!

You can add an unbound text control to the report (where you wish it
to print).
Set it's control source to:
=[What do you want to write?]

You will be prompted each time the report is run.

Alternatively, you can use an unbound control on a form.
Set the report's unbound control to:
=forms!FormName!ControlName.
The form must be open when the report is run.
