How do I insert the report name in the footer of an Access report.

[Guest]

I want to insert the name of the report in the footer section of an Access
report. How is that done?

When you are in design mode of the report, right click and choose Report
footer. Then add a text field and type in the name of the report.

In the footer add an unbound text control.
Set it's Control Source property to:
= [Name]

Thanks Fredg. I should have mentioned I do not want to hardcode in the
report name.

What fred gave you does not "hardcode" the name of the report. Type what he
gave you exactly as shown; it gets the name of the report from the Name
property of the report.

Ken-

I'm afraid I did not make myself clear. Fredg gave me ***exactly*** what I
wanted. If I had "hardcoded" the name in, then every time I changed the
report and gave it a new title, as I am wont to do, then I would have to
change the name.

I couldn't be more pleased with Fredg's advice...he read my mind.
