Hello!

I have a report that i want to have the "title" to be
according to a field in a form that i have.



eg. enter "TEST" in the form and the "title - caption" should be "TEST" in the report.

is this possible?
 
You can set the title in the form's open event:

Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.lblTitle.Caption = Forms!frmF!txtName
End Sub

Or you can use a textbox and refer to the form in the Control Source:

= Forms!frmF!txtName
 
Ms VB complains about the ".lblTitle"

when running the report any idéas?
 
Yes, change lblTitle and the name of the form to the names that you have used.
 
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Caption = Forms!frmF!txtName
End Sub

Worked for me!

Big thanks! :)
