Report Question

[Holm78]

Hi all!!

I have this form with a bunch of buttons, and when I press a button a specific text apear in a label.
On my report I have a field and in that field I want the same caption as the forms label depending on witch button that was pressed.
How do I make this? Do i put a code in the field on the report or do I need to send it from the form?

Thanks

Hi Holm

A public variable should do it.

Simply declare your public variable. Set the variable to the various strings in your buttons and then set a text boxs expression property in the report to your variable.

Hope this helps

Or, use something like:

Form1.Label1.Caption

as the expression for the field.

Whenever I need to reference any form properties from outside the form, I always

DO FORM myform NAME myform LINKED

This way you have an object reference to the form and can then reference myform.label.caption in the report.
