Sami:

I do not think that you can attach a variable to a variable “label”, only to a variable “edit.” What I want to do is to display the Agency’s name at the top of the form, if I define it as a variable and use a variable edit then I cannot make the background transparent, if I define it as variable label then it is hard coded with the variable label and cannot be changed with code, say to display a different Agency’s name...

Javier -

I created a variable, fTest = 'YYYY' and placed it on a form in a Variable Label.

I then set an EEP on a RIGHT-CLICK into a DbText object that says:

SET VAR fTest = 'XXX'
PROPERTY TABLE mytablename 'REFRESH'
RETURN

and that seems to work just fine.

Will that work for you?

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Form Question

I need to display a non-editable variable in a form but I want the display to look like a variable label, i.e. no box around the variable and transparent, so the value displays as plain text over the background, is there a way that I can do this? I have also thought of setting it as variable label but I do not believe that there is a way to update the text of the variable label with code (PROPERTY….TEXTVALUE…). TIA.
