I am afraid that it is not possible.

Put your label text and your value in the same text box. So SourceExpr would be
LabelText + ' ' +ValueText

Or use SHOWOUTPUT to show different sections with different labels. There's almost always a way, just not the way you're used to.

These are some ways to do it while not being able to change the width. But try to avoid creating extra sections for it. It makes maintaining the report very difficult and long.

Hi Kriki,

Can you please confirm that it is not possible to change the values of report element properties dynamically? I am trying to figure out a way to do this using Dynamics NAV 5.0.

I sincerely appreciate your time.

you can only change the poperties that you can see in the C/AL Symbol menu.
You can make some workarrounds if you need for example a italic value or a underline value.
So you can create different sections or in one section some textboxes one above the other. And every textbox has his own porperties like itali or underline and his own sourceexpr

Thanks!

One thing to remember is that there is Nothing Dynamic in Dynamics NAV CAL.

You're welcome.

For an example, you can take a look in Davids example here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36536
