Bob,

First two things to check:
- did you spell the name of the field exactly correctly when put on
the report?

- is the report based on a query, rather than directly on the table,
in which case the field will have to be included in the query?

Bob,

If your field is named BottomTaxLabel, then the textbox on your report
should have its Control Source property set as BottomTaxLabel. The Name

Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=11200
property of the textbox can also be BottomTaxLabel, in fact that's what
I would do, but doesn't need to be. But as I mentioned before, for this
to work the BottomTaxLabel field will need to be included in the query
or table that the report is based on. This is defined in the Record
Source property of the report itself.

Bob,

What is the Record Source of the Report? (look at the properties of the
report itself, and see the Record Source property).
