Hi Can some one please advise me how I can set a report up which when executed I can still free type into a text box of some kind?
Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

Mark:

If its just a short string of text you could probably use a parameter to pass it into the report. If its a larger string of text I have only done this by using a application I would have created in Visual Studio.

once a report is rendered, you can't type into it...you can probably export it, and then that program might give you the ability to add to the report, but as John said, you can't directly modify the report after it's been rendered.
 
The parameter writes to the report during rendering, just as a reminder.
