Way to "tag" a report?

[BradWare]

I'm curious to know if there is a way a report can be given a tag. What I'd like to do is isolate a group of report names and put them in a combo box...but I'd rather not individually type each name. If there is a way to give the reports I want a common tag then I could scoop them up more easily. Any suggestions?

Every object has a Tag property but you will have to use a VBA loop to test for it and build the record source query for the combo using the Name property of the reports whose tag propery matches.

Personally I would enter the report names in a table with a field value to group them. Multiple groupings are possible with multiple fields or you can have an unlimited number of groupings with a join table.

This way the appropriately enabled users can select the reports they want without pestering you to change the Tags or the VBA.

Expanding on Galaxiom's suggestion, here is an example of what I like to use:

Report Dialog

Thanks for the tips.

have a reports table

have a reporttitle, and actual report name

then you can get very flexible

And I use a method (sometimes) which I can pull every report into a combo to use if the name has a certain prefix. Then, I never have to modify a table or anything, I just have to name it the way I need when I want it to show up in the list.

See here for a sample.
