I haven't used this process with Access XP, but in Access 97 you
could use a similar method to get the name of a report from the
Reports Container, as you have with the AllReports object.
The problem is, you can't set a report object to it, since it isn't
open. All you have is a name. Add this line ...
DoCmd.OpenReport "[report name]",acViewDesign,,,acHidden
Once it's opened, then the next line, where you set a report object
to it, will work.

Did you understand my answer? Is your problem solved already?
I agree, the problem is setting the report object, but the reason
it's a problemis because there is nothing to set it to. Your report
class doesn't exist, until you open the report, so you can't set the
report object equal to it without an error.
Did you try my suggestion, or are you dismissing it out of hand
because it seems incorrect to you?

Using the above code in this thread, this means this breaks:
'make the column headers
Set ctlLabel = RPT![lblColumnHeader]
For i = 1 To intColumnCount
with an error of:
438 - object doesn't support this property or method
This works ( automating the report in the same Program MDB ), but automating
the report in the program MDB eventually causes the program MDB to become
corrupt.
'On Error Resume Next
''for now, just do it in the program MDB
'DoCmd.DeleteObject acReport, "MyReportCopy"
'DoCmd.CopyObject "", "MyReportCOPY", acReport, "MyReport"
'DoCmd.OpenReport "MyReportCOPY", acViewDesign

Dan,
Thank you for your help, your advice of opening in design mode does enable
this assignment to happen:
Set RPT = dbs.AllReports(REPORT_NAME_Copy)
but the following works when it refers to a report in the local MDB and
breaks if it refers to a report in a different MDB ( I need to automate a
report that is in a different MDB ):
'make the column headers
Set ctlLabel = RPT![lblColumnHeader]
For i = 1 . . . . . . .
breaks with an error of:
438 - object doesn't support this property or method
Use this code to open it locally:
'On Error Resume Next
''for now, just do it in the program MDB
'DoCmd.DeleteObject acReport, "MyReportCopy"
'DoCmd.CopyObject "", "MyReportCOPY", acReport, "MyReport"
'DoCmd.OpenReport "MyReportCOPY", acViewDesign
'Set RPT = Reports![MyReportCOPY]
and all references to the RPT object work

Here is part of the solution you're looking for. You created a new App object
and you want to use its methods to manipulate its objects
strDBPath = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\MyData.mdb"
Set App = New Access.Application
App.OpenCurrentDatabase strDBPath, False
App.DoCmd.OpenReport "rptRequests", acViewDesign, , , acHidden
Set rpt = App.Reports("rptRequests")
rpt.Caption = "New Report Caption Here"
App.DoCmd.Close acReport, "rptRequests", acSaveYes
