Setting a label on a report after opening it

[calogero]

I am using MS Access 2010. I want to set a label on a report after opening it. I open the report with the following command, where sReport holds the report name:

DoCmd.OpenReport sReport, acViewPreview

I then check to make sure that the action didn't fail.

I then set the label with the following code:

Reports(msObject).xlblOption.Caption = Form_fFStMenus.xlblActiveMenu.Caption & nOption

The code does not give me an error, but neither does the xlblOption label have the desired value.

Any suggestions about what I am doing wrong?

Manage that in Open event of the report itself.

Very little information to work with here (You may want to consider better preparation of your question in future), but have you tried :

Reports(sReport).xlblOption.Caption = Form_fFStMenus.xlblActiveMenu.Caption & nOption

Thank you; that did the trick. But I couldn't just set the label directly to the value of the Form label. I got it to work by setting a public variable to the Form label and then setting the Report label to that public variable in the Report`s Open event

Sorry, my sample code left out the fact that msObject actually held the same value as sReport. It`s just that sReport is the parameter value in a subroutine I call to do the print preview and msObject is a private variable in a class that holds the commands to be executed.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
