Hi,

Is it possible to design a data report using a data designer to include some text boxes whose data are coming from some fields in a table and some text boxes are getting their data straight from the input the user types in the text boxes in a form?

For an example, say an invoice is getting it's unit price from the table but it is getting its discount info from the user before he prints the invoice.

If it is possible could someone please show me how.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Please don't bother answering this as I have found another way of doing what I want.
 
Well, then either red flag this thread to be removed, or be helpful to others, who may be looking for the same, and post what you found the solution to work out.
Also, please read FAQ222-2244
 
Sorry guys for not posting the solution. I was so happy in finding a solution it did not cross my mind.

Ok. What I did was I created a label in the pager header section of the data report and instead of getting the input from the user directly I got the value from one of the fields in the table itself and assigned it to the Caption property of the label.

Come to think of it I assume I can do the same thing from the user input too. That is get the value from a text box in the form and assign it to the Caption property of the label.
