That's why I hardly ever use variable forms. You can define in the form eeps, but you can't do a dynamic caption

You cannot define form variables for a variable form.

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 Karen -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Brock <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Mar 13, 2014 10:55 am Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Changing caption on a Form The Dynamic Caption checkbox is grayed out and i can not set it.
