Hi all,

I am trying to set up macros based on a huge amount of reports to
automatically print the reports all at once. However, I would like to change
the caption setting so that I don't have to keep changing the file name each
time. Is there a way to do this? I am new to Access so I'm not sure how to
set this up.

For example, one report is called "rptCountrybySalesParent" and I would like
each file to print out like "FrabySalesParent," "ItabySalesParent,
"ChnbySalesParent," etc. I have the where conditions figured out, but the
captions are puzzling me.

Thanks! Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks for the help, but I'm still lost. Any change you could walk me through
all that step by step?
 
Thank you for the help - after some further testing, I figured out how to
change the caption as part of the macros I am working on. Thanks!

I don't use macros so I was leaving it to you to adjust the
form macro that opens the report. Just use the OpenReport
action's OpenArgs argument to pass whatever caption string
you want to the report.

Then create and use a macro for the report's Open event to
set the caption.

I find it very difficult to describe a macro in a text
message, especially since I have not written a macro in more
than 10 years. I use VBA code to communicate because it is
pretty unambiguous and, except for specific names and values
you are using, can mostly be Copy/Pasted for you to use.

If you were using VBA code to do whatever it is you are
tring to do, then you could Copy/Paste what you have so I
could try to pick up on some of the details you left out of
your text message.
