Hi all

How can I put the database filename into the Report Header of a report. I know there are things like Application.CurrentProject.Name etc that has to be incoprorated into some VBA code, but where does this code go?

I assume you create a text box in the report header, but what Event am I changing? Report events, text box control events ??

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated especially the relevant code :-P

Cheers

Jason

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Hi,

Create a text box in the report header.

Right click on the text box and select properties.

Click on the Data tab.

In the Control Source box type: =CurrentProject.Name

Close the properties window and preview the reprot.

You should see the database name.


hope this helps

Regards

Pete
