[AccessD] Modify label on a form in vba and save

Thanks Lambert,
I had mentioned saving the Date and concatenating it, which I think is the
best way. 

However, do you have a reference or a procedure for Opening the Form in
design view and modifying the label and saving it. I suppose it could be
done as a separate process when the database is closed.  I haven't tried
opening a form in design mode and modifying with vba.

TIA
Jack

Only if the users have an MDB file that they are working with, and you'd
have to open the form (via code) in design mode to make the change and then
save it. All very messy.

Much simpler way to do this is to save the date in a table. Then when the
form opens you can look up the date in the table and then change the label
caption. All this can be done in the form's Load event.

Hi Group,

I had a question from an Access 2003 user. He has a Form with an option
group and some labels.

On one of the Options he wants to update the label  to include the Date the
option was selected. The result to be that when the Form is opened in
Future, the label for that Option will show that "last used Date" appended
to the original text.

 

?? Is it possible to Update the label on a form, and save the result via
vba?

 

Jack
