On Open Event

T

In an Open event for a report, I can set the Caption of a Label, but not the
text of an unbound textbox - produces the error "You can't assign a value to
this object."
Happens in both A2002 & 2007

Both objects can be assigned values in the Open event of a form.
Thanks for any info.

Well, a report is not a form.
The Open event is too early.
Use the Report's Report Header Format event.

Oh, and reviewing what Fred said, use the Format event of the section the
text box or label is in.
