Hi All,

How do I display a automatic filename in a report in design view. And what
do I type.

Thanks,

kfh
 
What is an "automatic filename" and why in "design view"?

Do you want to get the name of the current mdb file in the report footer? If
so, try a text box with a control source of:
=Currentdb.Name
 
Hi All,
Yes sorry I'm new to databases yes I need the current file name in the
footer. When the date shows if looks like =now() that what I need the file
name to look like.

Thanks,
 
Hi Duane,
Just got in and tried it, I get #name?. I did'nt type aynthing in the text
box, just set the control source in the unbound box.

Thanks.
 
Hi Duane

The name is label 20, caption 19 nothing is showing in the control source.
The mbd is called Deliver and the report is called Invitation.

Thanks,
 
Hi Duane,

Just tried it again and it works a treat.
My peers at colledge said it can't b done, so thats a plus for me I owe you
a large drink.

Thanks :)
