Can someone tell me why i can't find the record source from text box
under properties?
The reason is i want to select a query source for my unbound text box.
 
The Text Box control does not have a record source property. Forms and
Reports have record source properties. What you have for a Text Box is a
control source property; however, since a text box holds only one specific
data item, a query may not be the best way to accomplish this. It may be
that a DLookup would provide you what you need. Be aware that if the control
source is not a field in the form's record source, the text box will not be
updateable.
