empty text box

[peabody]

I am brand new to Access (a Paradox user) and am bewildered by the Text Box
issue. I have a report in which I want to add a page footer that states the
report is confidential. When I try to go to print view, it asks me to enter
a parameter value. this is so frustrating, please help. Thanks!

That would not be the problem. It is asking for parameters for the query
that is the report's record source.

Huh? I just want to add some text to the report. Why would I need a query
for that? If it makes a difference the table was imported from Excel?

If you want to add static text to a report, use a label, not a text box. If
you want to use a text box, set its control source like:
="This report is confidential"

You said it was asking for a parameter value. Queries will ask for a
parameter value. Please define what it is you are trying to do.
