Header problem

Hi,

I have report. In header of this report I want to input data from table.
Because data in report header has to be changed occasionally and he can
change data in that table although he use mde database.

I try this:

Use DLookup() in the ControlSource of a text box on your report, e.g.:
=DLookup("NameOfYourFieldHere", "NameOfYourTableHere")


but error has occur:

The expression you entered contains invalid syntax.

You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or
comma,
or you entered text without surrounding in quotation marks.

What I have do wrong?

Thanks

Replace
NameOfYourFieldHere
with the name of the field you wish to look up.

Replace
NameofYourTableHere
with the name of the table that contains this field.

Include the quote marks.
