change headers

[George]

Hi,
Is it possible to change the header name / source without building a new
report through the wizard?
I have a header that i would like to change and the report is fairly
complicated so starting from the start is just not possible.
Any ideas - thanks
Thanks
George

Most likely, it is possible. What kind of change are you
trying to do?

Using a little code you can set the value of a text box,
change its size and position, bind it to a different field,
and modify most other properties.

IF you are referring to the label in the report header that is generated
by the wizard, then just click in the label and edit the string.

If you are referring to the value that appears in the window header when
you display the result, you must edit the caption property of the report.

If you mean something else, try to explain further what you want to
change. You should be able to edit anything the wizard does by entering
the report's design view and locating the proper object or property and
editing that.

By the way, the "source" of a report is normally a query or a table that
has the data the report displays. So usually you would not be editing
the source of a report unless you wanted to display different data then
the report is currently displaying.
