Can't Populate Unbound Controls on a Report...

I put this question in "Reports" 2 days ago, but had NO answers...

I have an Embedded jpg on a Report. There are Unbound
Controls on the jpg.

I've used a similar jpg on a Form to populate unbound Controls
w/ NO problems.

BUT, trying this on an unbound Report,
I get Error -2147352567 = "You can't assign a value to ths object".

Then , I can't File - Exit Access...except thru the Windows
Task manager.

Any insight welcomed.

TIA - Bob

I don't understand what you mean by "Unbound Controls on the jpg", nor
what it could mean to "use a ... jpg ... to populate unbound Controls".
Could you explain, please? And also, post whatever code procedure
you're trying to use that is giving the error.
 
Bob,
What is the purpose of the unbound control on a report. What is the record
source of your report. If you want a field on the report to reference an
unbound field on a form, then you need a text field with an expression as the
control source like:
=Forms![frmReportMenu]![UnboundFieldName]

Use your expression builder to get the correct syntax.

Hope this helps.
 
Dirk - Thank you.

We made a jpg file & then placed unbound controls over the jpg
(to use its formatting - lines, etc,). It goes to a 17-inch printed Report.

We've used the same jpg on a Form Tab with NO problems for
months, & I've done the same for years.

Here'e the Report_Open event...It errors when trying...
BoFlash = !BoFlash

Then, MUST exit Access by the Windows Task Manager.

I don't think this problem has anything to do with the JPG. But I
suspect that the report's Open event is too early to assign a value to
any of the data controls (text boxes, for example) on the report. Try
either (a) using labels instead of text boxes, and setting their
captions instead of values, or else (b) moving all this code to the
Format event of the Report Header or Detail section.
 
Dirk - That was it !!! I moved the code from Report_Open to the
Format event of the Detail section.

THANK you - Bob
