adding text to a report

[Guest]

I am trying to set up my first report in Access 2003. I have developed the
query and get the information I want, and worked with the report design in
report wizard so that it is formatted correctly. However, I want to add
additional text (not from the query) that will appear when the report prints.
I tried using text boxes, but when I try to preview the report, I get a
"Enter parameter value" message. When I add the text as a label, it shows on
the print preview, but then my query results don't show on the preview. Any
help please?

If the information is static, either use a label control or a text box with
a control soruce like:
=[Enter something]
If your report doesn't return any records, the text box will not work.

I answered earlier as if you wanted to prompt the user for text. If the text
box doesn't change, use a control source like:
="Some text to display"
