Weird problem w/ Group Header

A

AJ

I have a memo field in a group header. The qry for the report runs from a
form. All works great. I put my query criteria into the form then hit a
button, the qry runs, the report pulls up. However, I have one memo field
that the data will not always "pull". It pulls into the qry. I can minimize
the report and it is there. It is just not on the report. It is there
sometimes and some times not. I have eliminated the possibility of
truncation. I changed the value to "STOP" and it doesn't show up. Yet is
does show up as a long sentence for another criteria. I know there is
probably more info needed, I'm just stuck to go any further. Like I said.
The data is in the table. The query is pulling the data. It is something to
do with the report. I can't find any differences in why it will populate
sometimes and not others though I know there has to be a difference else it
would be working. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you

Are you making sure the record is saved prior to printing?
What do you see if you place the same control source on a text box in the
detail section?
What is the name of the field and the text box?

The record is already saved. The form isn't adding data, just pulling in
this case.
When I move the field to the detail section it shows up. The field name is
"comments". Thank you for any and all help.

I just tested a long memo field in a group header that can grow and all of
the text displays. I would try create a new, very simplistic report to see if
it works.
