Ok im a bit confused here.

I have a form with loads of entry fields etc.
I created reports to get their information from the records that were made
using the form, thr problem I have is that whenever I now click the report
button for it to do something I keep getting .

The value you entered is not valid for that field

I have looked at the fields in all my tables, they are either autonumber,
memo or date. Nothing is being entered into a number only or text only field
as I dont have them.

If I click the box away it shows the report fine with all the things in the
right places.

I think I have narrowed it down to two drop down box selections as it works
fine when they are not used. I just cant find what it is that causing it.

Any ideas on how to find out?
Is there something I can run which will show me exactly what the problem is?

Are you using dropdown boxes on your report? Change them to text boxes.
