Printing the Name of the Report Object in a Report

L

Leslie Goldsmith

Without typing the full report name into a text box, how
do create a control that displays the name of the report
as it is shown in the list of report objects?

This is probably one of those things that is either:

A.) An insanely easy thing that I'm missing, or
B.) An insanely logical thing that Access doesn't do.

Thanks, all

This is a good example of why you should never name a field [Name].

Leslie,

Add a text box and set its control source to: =[Name]

I agree, but take away the "=" and [Name] is a valid field name.

Not that I would ever do that... :)
