Hello everyone.

Got a problem here. I need to change caption of the form column on runtime. Everything goes smooth following the method described by kriki: '3,' + CaptionArray[], until i run into captions that have length bigger than 80 (some go up to 200). Is there any elegant solution to this without "invading" Codeunit 1 ?

    Yes, there is. You could shorten your captions. :wink: I can't believe that there is no possibility for shorter captions.

    Yes, I could. The client just does not want that.

    I guess that you use caption, not as a "header" but for help purposes.
    You could use the ToolTip for that, and stay under 80 for captions.

    Salut!

    Yes, definitely, if you "need" caption longer than 80 chars, there is something wrong... and should be done in another way...
