Add More Information to Report
You probably know that the following expression in an unbound text box will print the current
page and number of pages contained in the report:
=???Page ??? & [Page] & ??? of ??? & [Pages]
Both Page and Pages are report properties that are available at runtime and can be included on
the report.
But consider the value of adding other report properties on the report. Most of the report properties
can be added to unbound text boxes as long as the property is enclosed in square brackets. For
the most part, these properties are only of value to you as the developer, but they may also be useful
to your users.
For instance, the report??™s Name, RecordSource, and other properties are easily added the same
way. Figure 20-21 demonstrates how unbound text boxes can deliver this information to a report
footer or some other place on the report.
FIGURE 20-21
rptMoreInfo demonstrates how to add more information to your reports.
The inset in the lower-right part of Figure 20-21 shows the information provided by adding the
four text boxes to this report.
