Find Objects Name On Report?

[xBaseDude]

Gentlemen;

How do I find out the name of an Object on a Report?

TIA - Wayne

...all this and tap dancing too!

if you're talking about some way to say ThisReport.txtName.value, there isn't one. The fields placed on a report aren't objects in memory like that. You can get to a form's controls from a report but not the other way around. What is it you are trying to do and maybe myself or someone here can help you?

Hi Wayne !
From my working code (for controls):
mX = SheetList(SheetPointer,1).Form.PageFrame.Pages.ControlCount
FOR m = 1 TO mX
zm_pole = SheetList(SheetPointer,1).Form.PageFrame.Pages.Controls(m).Name .........
For you:
mX = NameOfFormset).Form.ControlCount
FOR m = 1 TO mX
zm_pole = NameOfFormset).Form.Controls(m).Name
.........

Since a report is just a table, the report is one of the few items left to objectify (same as the menu), in order to find an object in a report, you would have to use your report like a table and do a LOCATE on it to find the object in question.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't write your question exactly (not form- REPORT) - i woke up at 5 today

Change textbox properties on the fly with a udf() to select font size.

IF [condition]
THIS.textbox.FONTSIZE = 24
ENDIF

Use another textbox (one on top of the other ) and change the font of the second one to 24 and use the printWhen clause to determine which one should appear.

At design-time, select the textbox, from the menu Format->Font.

Other than Mike's suggestion of using multiple textboxes (one for every fontsize you want available) I've only seen one thing that can do what you want GENREPOX (public domain utility created by Markus Egger). I've used it for changing some of the fields on a report at runtime based on some criteria etc.
