When I add a text box and use a control source of "Company Name", when I run
the report it comes up as a "1". How do I get it to show the "Company Name".
Make sure the company name field that actually stores the company name is in
the record source of the report. I expect you have mis-used a lookup field
defined in your table. IMO, don't use this type of mis-feature.
You have based your report on a table that has a field CompanyID. Your
database has another table named TblCompany. You need to create a query that
includes both tables and contains CompanyName from TblCompany and all other
fields you want in your report. You need to change the rowsource of the
report to the new query then change the control source of the textbox to
CompanyName that you got fron TblCompany.
