Hello there

I'm working with Access 2003
I have captions on on of my forms. As one of the features of new Access 2003
(caption is flicking when is not connected to any form) i had to connect
each caption to other control, such as Textbox or combobox.

In the original form the caption wasn't bound to textbox or combobox. so it
will always shown, even when i invisible the textbox. Now because i connect
it the caption becoms invisible when the textbox become invisible, and
that's wrong

Is there a way not to invisible the caption when i Invisible the textbox?

any help would be useful
 
An attached label will always show/hide as you set the Visible property of
the control it is attached to.

An alternative might be to use a text box that looks like a label, by
setting properties:
Enabled No
Locked Yes
BackStyle Transparent

There is a utility in this link that searches your database, changes any
affected unattached labels into text boxes, and sets the Control Source to
what the label's Caption was:

Thankes Allen

But my huge progect (Approx 800 forms) is in source safe.

And on this mode i can't open with code any form for design it and use your
function (as far as i know)

Is there way to do this when the project is in Source safe?
 
Roy, I don't use SourceSafe, but you can still use the principle.

Will they let you book the whole thing out, and then return it after the
change?
That sure would be handy with 800 forms.
