Mr K,
I am pleased to hear that we have made progress! The word 'control' is
a generic term to include textbox, label, combobox, rectangle,
pagebreak, etc, etc, which are placed on forms and reports. Some
controls are bound controls. i.e. they are "linked" to data in the
form/report's underlying recordsource table/query, and some controls are
unbound. Sorry I didn't pick up that your problem related to not
knowing this!
