Datareport question

[tzachari]

Can you programatically change the caption property of a label in a data report? Looks like the caption property of a label in a Data Report designer is available only during design time.
rptlabel1.Caption = "Microsoft" does not work!!
Any thoughts

In order for you to dynamically change VB DataReport labels, you have to use the Sections/Controls properties of the DataReport.

Code ex.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rpt01.Sections("sctRptHdr").Controls("lblBeginDate").Caption = "11/01/1998"
rpt01.Sections("sctRptHdr").Controls("lblEndDate").Caption = "11/30/1998"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The above code will change the label caption of the "lblBeginDate" label in the "sctRptHdr" section of the report to "11/01/1998" and change the label caption of the "lblEndDate" label in the "sctRptHdr" section of the report to "11/30/1998".

You just have to change the names in parenthesies to the names associated with the Section and Control that you want changed at run-time.
