control on form from report

[John]

I have a label on a main form. There is a print button on the main
form that opens the report. When the report opens I need for it to
check if a label is visible on the main form and if so display a label
on the report. Below is the what I have in the Report_Open event but
the report label is not showing.

If Forms![Purchase Orders].lblPONotApproved.Visible = True Then
Me.lblPOIsNotApproved.Visible = True
Else
Me.lblPOIsNotApproved.Visible = False
End If

Am I missing something or is there a better way to show the label?

Thanks....John

You can disregard this post. I figured it out. The code above is
fine. There was another piece in front of this that needed to be
modified.

Thanks for reviewing...John

If it's not too cryptic for your tastes, you can shorten the
code to just one line:

   Me.lblPOIsNotApproved.Visible = Forms![Purchase
Orders].lblPONotApproved.Visible

Nothing is too cryptic. I like the one liner. Thanks.
