The caption property holds the literal string of what you want for ... the
caption. Good luck!

Per Help (rephrased a little):
"...Field captions specify 1) the text for labels that will be attached to controls created by dragging a field from the field list while designing forms and 2) serves as the column heading for the field in either table or query Datasheet view..." The Caption property is Optional. *IF* there is one, the Caption value will appear in place of the field name as stated above. If there is no caption the Field name will appear. Why? Examples: a lot of developers don't like spaces in field names, or they like to preface the name with characters that tell them what type of field it is, or use abbreviations in field names, etc. Therefore, field names like: EmployeeName sngHourlyRate SSN fldNotes Valid field names from a developer's point of view, but they are candidates for "user friendly" captions like: Employee Name Hourly Rate Social Security Number Notes and Comments The "user friendly" captions appear in place of the "developer friendly" field names in the situations stated above. -- HTH, George "blue3509" wrote in message ... i need examples... of what your talking about i have no idea what you mean by literal string........

If you type This Is My Caption in the Caption property of the field then you will see This Is My Caption as the caption of the field. Insulting people who are trying to help you, and obviously asking to be spoonfed answers so that you can avoid thinking or studying, is just going to get you killfiled by the volunteers here. I'm of two minds whether to send this... but be assured it's the first AND LAST time I'll spoon feed you. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
