[AccessD] Problem with A2003 Report caption

Bob,

    You can try passing the caption string as report's OpenArgs as follows:

    DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, _
            acViewPreview, , strWhere, , strReportCaption

    Code in report's open event would be:

    Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
        Me.Caption = Me.OpenArgs
    End Sub

Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

  Subject: [AccessD] Problem with A2003 Report caption


  Hi Folks

  I am running into a problem with a new report. I am using a form to select
  record types and a date range, and passing the parameters to the report.
  Everything is working perfectly and as expected *EXCEPT* that my report
  caption does not print on the first page. It's there from Page 2 through the
  end, regardless of how many pages.

  My form code sample is below. I have confirmed that the value of
  "frmDateRange" just prior to the OpenReport is "1". On the actual report,
  the unbound text field for the report title has a control source of
  "=[Caption]". 

  If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or can at least point me in the
  right direction, I will be truly grateful. 

  Thanks !
  Bob Gajewski
