Access 2010 reporting question.

How can I tell where a particular field's data on a report is coming from? The report has a field called unit price and I need to find out where the data for this field is being pulled from.

look at the controls "Control Source" property. It will indicate the name of the field in the Reports Recordsource that is providing the value.

However, you will then need to check to determine whether the report's recordsource is a query, and if so, review the syntax of the query to determine whether any data manipulation was done to get that value.
