Can I point a report to Multiple Data Sources? I am using Access 2003. The report I want to create has 2 sections. The first is basically a 8X10 table that breaks down various financial data by category. The second is sort of reference data that does not break down by category. If I go to the properties of the report, I see it only lets me choose one data source.

MS Access Report using multiple data sources

You can create a second (sub) report and place it in your main report. A subreport can have its own record source.

Individual textboxes can also have their own record source
try using =dlookup(fieldname,tablename)

Programming is 1% coding, 50% error checking and 49% sweat as your application bombs out in front of the client.
