label captions

[Guest]

I am changeing the label caption via code but it does not indicate the change when the report is shown on the screen. I first open the report via VB and then place this line in code reports!rptcardtobesent1year!label4.caption = "1 year cards to be sent for " & forms!frmmonthselect!lstmonthselect When I view ?reports!rptcardtobesent1year!label4.caption in the immediate window it has the correct text but when I look at the open report the label does not indicate a change. Do I need to setfocus for that label first before I assingment a value to the caption property

Where is the code that sets the caption? Is it in the On Format event of the
section containing the label?

I would set the caption property in the On Format event of the section in
the report that contains the label.
