It is a bit unusual that you would need to use that many fields. However, you
can get around this limitation by using subreports. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP If I have helped you, please help me by donating to UCP http://www.access.hookom.net/UCP/Default.htm "billy_pit" wrote: Hi, My project is in MS Access 2002.

Why do you think you can not use subreports for your purpose?
If you explain the why then maybe someone can tell you a method that will work for subreports. -- KARL DEWEY Build a little - Test a little "billy_pit" wrote: Ya I know that this thing rarely happen but I have to do that thing.Sorry but I can't use subreport for what I want to do,I don't have any other option.Do u have any other solution then give me.By the way thanks for ur help. |

Reports don't "contain fields"... Reports are based on a RecordSource (Query or Table), which does contain Fields, and display the Fields, and other information, in Controls on the Report. A report is not limited to 255 Controls. Tables and Queries are limited to 255 Fields -- that is _not optional_. If you need to display 258 values, you are going to have to do something other than expect a workaround to the 255 limit for Tables and Queries... and, as the RecordSource of a Report only allows one Table or Query to be specified, you need to find another way to obtain the data. Subreports have been suggested because each Subreport Control can contain a Report which has its own RecordSource, so the combination may total more than 255. Give us information on what data you have, how it is organized, and how you want to report it, and, even better, also explain what you are trying to accomplish it rather than how you think you can or cannot accomplish it.

I didn't say so in my initial response, but it is worth saying that displaying that many values about a "something" generally does not result in a useful, usable report and often indicates that the data layout was improper. Elsewhere, it was clear that you were not aware that a report could be based on a Query... so perhaps you would benefit from visiting http://office.microsoft.com, and following the hyperlinks for Training -- there are quite a number of good online training courses on a variety of Access topics. They tend to be introductory-to-intermediate level, and aimed at end-users rather than developers, but you should come out of them knowing that a report's Record Source can be a Query as well as a Table. (and, did I mention that they are free?) There is also a good list of resource websites on the right-hand side of the page at http://sp.ntpcug.org/accesssig/default.aspx.
