combo box in a report

[cat]

Can I create a combo box/drop down in a report? I.e., when I open the
report, I want a drop down available for the user to choose from, the same as
you would have in a form. Is this possible?

What do you wish to happen once the user chooses something?

I would like the value stored in the combo box to be displayed on the report.

I can do this by setting up the combo box in a form, and then have a text
box on the report pull the value from the combo box in the form, but I do not
need the form for anything else, so it seemed like a waste or round about way
to do what I wanted.

If I can put the combo box directly on the report, that would seem easier
and cleaner. The combo box would be a drop down of values from the table or
query it is tied to, the same as I would have in a form.

Use the form. A combo box on a report is useless for this.
