Good morning to all.

I have a report based off a query. On the report I have a bunch of text boxes which is roughly 17 text boxes which I have to have them on there no matter what. Now on the form if i only select 5 of them, then on the report I only want to show the 5 I have selected in the form and the rest of them do not show when I open the report. the reason I need this is because the text box is as follows:

="a. " & [a]

If i only select 5 of them and open the report, then it will show the one's i have selected and the others will show on the report with the following:

a. where are you now
b.
c.

Here is what I am looking for:

what I need:

a. where are you now
b. what are you doing
c. why is this.

what I do not want

a. where are you now
b. what are you doing
c. why is this.
d.
e.
f.

any help on this.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Is the data coming form a table?

If each item is store as a separate record then it is very easy.

If the data is all in teh same record then you can use a Union query to normalized the data into records.
