Hi,

I used the CaptionClass-property in the table-field and made a new function in codeunit 1. If you wanna see how CaptionClass work you can have a look at the dimensions or the VAT-fields (amount incl. VAT) in the sales documents. This fields are changed on run time.

In codeunit 1, I changed the CaptionClassTranslate-function and added a third option. Then I read a new function where I get my description using different parameters, i.e. user name and session id. In the CaptionClass-property in the table I just enter my parameters (starting with 3 for the third option) which I check in the new function and then I get the description I need.

I hope someone can understand what I mean?!
Otherwise ask again and I try to explain it again/more detailed!

If your captions are not part of a table box or matrix box then you can use text boxes instead of labels. Set the source expression to a global variable and set the value of the variable at run time. If you are working with a table box or matrix box then I think the only way is to use caption classes.

I found an entry in Tips&Tricks how to change the caption without changing codeunit 1. I didn't try this yet, but maybe you want to have a closer look on it.
