How to change the label-caption in a column (form) ?

HenningTh

Anybody who knows a way to change the caption in column header on an ordinary form. I have a variable when calling the form, and I wish a specific column to shown the content of this in column-header-label (the caption) when opening the form.

Is this possible ?

I am aware of the possibilities in a matrix-form.

there is a little trick there i picked up from another post here on mibuso. Enter this in the caption clas sproperty of the column ( the field itself, not the header )

'1,5,,' + 'New Column Name'

You can use a variable or function instead of the text literal i used in the above example.

I think common practice is to use a text box instead of a leabl. That works fine for the classic client. For the RTC I think you would go with the caption properties as in the second response.
