Hi!
try to put the remote view into the form's data environment. Then put a textbox on the form, find a ControlSource property (Data tab in the Properties sheet), in the combobox for that property you should be able to select a field from the list.

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
