You must have a form variable defined before it will be active. If you define
your vCaption outside of the form, then you need to sorta "redefine" it inside
the form by creating a form variable:
vCaption = .vCaption
Then the checkbox will be available, and you select vCaption

On the Form’s Object Properties (F11?) – Dynamic Caption tab you can set the
Dynamic Form caption with your variable

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Changing caption on a Form
I am trying to do a simple operation like setting a caption on a form and it is
not working.
1st i set a variable which later on will be set at runtime
SET VARIABLE vCaption TEXT = 'This is the Caption'
Then i try to set the form property in "On After Start"
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTION .vCaption
And when i run the form i get an output for the Caption as ".vCaption" instead
of the "This is the Caption"
It seems like there is a lot of work to do simple items in RBase that can
easily be done in other programmming languages.
Thanks,
Matthew D. Brock
