how do i print legends in a report

[saj]

hi,
my database table have 16 fields including a result field. i have only a
set of results(a mximum of 10 numbers) if i am printing the result as a
single caharector like "*" etc.. i can prepare the report in a single page(in
landscape) this will be possible only if i can print the description for the
"result" field as a legent in the report footer or eny where in the report.
i'll be thankfull if i could get a solution for this problem.

thank you

Lots of ways to do this depending on how you have set up
your database and the details of what you want to do. One
good way would be to have a table with the legend info and
fisplay it with a subreport.

another way to do it is use a text box and label. type the description in the
label. in the text box type a link to the field holding the data, e.g.
=([MyField]). doing it this way will mean that your legend will always be
auto updated.
