Carmen
What's the expression of the Field?

>>>> You are right. This particular report will only be printed from within the form. In order to make it more generic, I should include your approach. Good idea. By the way, what is the easiest way to print the contents of a memo field on a report. If I try to expand the field box on the report and the memo field is more than 1 line ( using word-wrap ), I receive the following error "String Too Long". I imagine it's because it is trying to fit the entire memo contents into one string. What is the best approach to printing the contents of a memo field using the report writer? Thanks again.

>>>>>> I tried it both ways and to my surprise, it worked with the control property being examined by the report writer as well. I used the property in the PRINT WHEN for a field and in the expression I actually used thisform.property. It seems the control's properties are still in scope during the report session.
