You cannot open reports (or any object) in design view in an MDE.
However, if you are comfortable with writing VBA code, you can use the
events of the report to:
- Assign a value to an unbound control, or a string to the Caption of a
label;
- Resize the section;
- change the font and other properties of the control;
- assign/reassign the ControlSource of text boxes;
- reassign the ControlSource of the grouping sections.
Without code, you could:
- use a DLookup() in the ControlSource to read a value from a table;
- use an expression in the ControlSource to read a value from a form, e.g.:
=Forms!MyForm!MyTextbox
