control on report

[Joanne]

WinXP Pro - Office 2003
I have many cbo boxes on my report (created by saving my form)
On one of them in the upper left hand corner there is a triangle of
color, I don't know why it is there.
When I try to open the report, I am being asked for the parameters for
this control.
Could you please explain what is happening and how I can fix it? I
really do not want to delete the control and re-create it and get it
in the tab order etc etc if it can be done in a simpler manner.
Thanks for your help
Joanne

Typically, combo boxes are not very good controls for a report. A combobox
is a nice interactive control. On reports, I use textboxes. You can
right-click that control (and all the others for that matter) and change
them to textboxes. If this does not resolve the specific issue you
indicate, you might need to recreate the control as you indicate. Not
really sure why you would care about tab order on a report.

Tab order belongs to forms - I guess my head is still thinking forms.
I will follow your advice and change all to text boxes.
Thanks a bunch for your input
