Add an Unbound Control
The Count works, but it
would be easier to understand this Report if there was a Label that
said what that number meant. A Label, like the Calculated Control,
is Unbound: it does not look up the data in a Table or Query.
Before
you Begin: Move the Control
Select the Control in
the Genre Footer.
Move the Control to
make room for the Label.
8. Try it: Add a Label to
the Group Footer
Go to
Report Design Tools ->Design->Controls.
Choose a Control: Label.
Go to the Genre Footer.
Click and Draw a Label.
Try This, Too: Edit the
Label Properties
Name: GenreTotalLabel
Caption: Count of Movies by
Genre.
Width: 2'
Height: 0.2188 (that is
default for this type size).
Top: 0"
Left: 0.125
Keep
going...
The new Label has an exclamation point. This
alert says that the Label is not Associated with a Control. You
can bind it to the AccessTotalGenre.
