    Unfortunately C/AL doesn't provide the capability to create controls at run time.

    what property is "the property"? :mrgreen:
    well, i mean: what property(ies) do you want to change?

    The properties that can be changed during runtime are limited (and limited to only forms) (talking about labels and textboxes here)

    The Sourceexpression is NOT part of those properties that can be changed during runtime.
    If you want to change the text displayed (because the value suddenly comes from a different table), use a variable on the form itself and assign the new value to it.
    Welcome to C/AL where every variable has to be declared before runtime.
    But that's just because if you write a virus or another piece of code that sucks, you can't erase your tracks.

    this is where i wanted to get :wink: ...and for the other properties, we have to create multiple sections with textboxes with different property values and show/hide those section depending on what you need. (obviously, this is just a workaround, because we ar not changing properties at all :whistle: )
    search mibuso for showoutput, and you should get more informations.

    Recommendation: I no longer make printable reports whenever I can avoid them because upgrading them to the RTC will be difficult. I write reports into Excel through Excel Buffer table. Report 113 gives a good example.

    In this case of course every column is added through code and if you automatically would want to export all fields in a table into Excel you could use RecordRef and FieldRef variables to loop through all fields.
