variable text unbound field

I am trying to create a form which has text information entered into it for
printing only. In other word, this info will not be stored in a database.

I am currently using an unbound field, but the same information that is
typed in appears across multiple entries on the form.

Is there a way to enter text on the form without including it in the table,
so that it appears on each entry form?

Thanks,
Rebecca
 
I am going to assume that you are viewing all of the records in form view.
As long as you have the form open and the unbound field has data that data
will not dissapear on a diffrent record. You may notice that when you open
the table the data in the unbound form will not be seen.

If I assumed wrong give some more information on how you are viewing the
form and hopefully me or someone else can assist you.
 
Thanks for replying. I am viewing the information on the form and would like
to view and print out some variable information (text) that I don't need to
store in the database. When I use the unbound field for entering text is
appears on every record. I want each record to have it's own text (kind of
like a comment) that doesn't need to be saved.

Is there any way to do this, or do I need to create a separate table to
store this info? Or does the info have to be stored in the table to show up?

Thanks.
 
Since you want each record to have an unique value when printed, you would
need to store this data in the same table as the rest of the data.

The only other solution is to print one record at a time... which of course
is more trouble than its worth.
