New To Reports

[JamesJ]

I'm trying to place a Combo Box on a report but can't seem to do it.
In Design view the cbo looks fine and is reported as a combo box. but when I
view the report it has no
dropdown arrow and appears to be a text box. Even after designating the row
aourecve it dpesn't
wnat to display as a combo box.

Any help will be appreciated,
James

Reports don't support dropping down of combo boxes so an arrow would have no
utility.

Why do you think you want a combo box on a report and why should it drop down?

 

[JamesJ]

Want a combo box based on a lookup table to filter the records in the report
as
I do with my forms.

A report's filter is set prior to opening. You can modify the report's record
source to include a criteria based on a control on a form or you can use the
Where Condition of the DoCmd.OpenReport method.

Ok. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,
