The Format property dropdown is blank because the field in
the report's record source table/query is a Text type field.
If the fromat dropdown is not blank but doesn't do anything,
it's becuse the text box expression results in a string.

Either the table really is a Text field or you are doing
something in the query to convert it to Text.

If that doesn't get you going, post back with the report's
query, a list of the relevant table fields a long with their
type, and the control source of the text box controls you're
having trouble with.
