Hi

I have a form that I want to re-use at run time, so I need to be able to change certain properties, such as the text that appears at the top of the page. How do I do this at run time?

Thanks in Advance

Louisa

What is the form used for, more specifically, what criteria will trigger a change?

John

Hi there,

Take a look at the code that Visual Studio has generated for you. You'll see that it just sets a bunch of properties for the form in code. You'll see stuff like this for example: This code sets the text for a button on the form, and for the caption on the form.

You can do the exact same thing at run-time.

Cheers,

Imar

Everyone is unique, except for me.

I just have two reports that are very similar, the user enters two dates and they print off different data from the recordset depending upon which report they are running. The reports have different titles so I wanted the different titles to appear in the text bar at the top of the form. A boolean value is passed to the load even so it knows which report it is running and a button event runs the report.

If I understand you correctly
write a conditional statement setting the forms title bar by clicking on form properties and writing a routing in the forms on_load() event. This should do the trick

Let me know

Thank you both it is working perfectly.
