Give a form a good title

[kupe]

Dear Experts
Is there a simple way to change the title of a form please?

 

[pungentSapling]

Go to design view of the form, click in the box at the top left of the form to select the form... access the form properties and change the caption property to the title you want.


or you could code

me.form.caption = "Your Title"

in any event within the scope of the form.

If you want to do it in code:


On the same form:

Me.Caption = "Whatever"

On another form:

Forms!frmYourForm.Caption = "Whatever"

Very grateful, pungent Sapling and Mile-O-Phile, for the advice and code.

I am using access 2000 ...... ":form" only shows up when in design view.... not in form view

Sorry, I realised my oversight too late, and rushed back for a hasty editing. But you must have seen it in between.

It gives that :form extra if you don't name it in the Caption line, or by code. I think that 's how it works. Thanks very much for the help.
