On a report, I just want to show the value (the number it contains) of a field in my table for a specific date. The expression I'm using is "=([field])" which works okay.

Is that the expression to use to simply show what's in a field?

Thanks
 
To display a field in a report, your control source for the text box can be set to:
[FieldName]
There is a dropdown list in the control source property that allows you to easily select a field from your report's record source.

I am lost regarding what you mean by "for a specific date".

Duane, thanks for answering.

What I mean by specific date is that I'm getting my report with a parameter query which displays the record only for the date entered.

That's why I need the report to simply show what's in each field for each record for the date entered.

So I'll just use [FieldName] in the control source for the text box.

Thanks
