I have a report that contains a txtBox which is used for
displaying a report title.

Depending on user information, this title needs to be
dynamic so it can change.

Using the following code, I receive the error message "You
can't assign a value to this object"

Me.txtTitle = "Unit " & varUnit & " Night Shift Log"

This is my first design attempt for a report, do they
function differantly than a form?

How do I manipulate controls on a report?
 
The text box should be unbound (no control source). Text boxes don't have
caption properties. Labels have captions. I assume you have a text box.
 
I errored when naming the control...it is a LABEL.

None the less, I did attempt to have an unbound txtBox on
the report to perform the same thing, but receive the same
error.

Any more ideas?
 
The code should be located in the On Format event of the section containing
the control.
Me.lblMyLabel.Caption = "Something"
