Report title based on Date?

[Jim]

I have a report header that fills in the title based on the dates chosen on
a form with this line of code:



Me.txtTitle = "Commission" & " " & Format(Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate,
"mmmm/yyyy")



It works well, but now I need to look at both cboStartDate and cboEndDate
and if both dates are in the same month, then display that month. ie:
Jan/2010. Or if it's a range of dates like 1/1/10 to 4/1/10, then have it
display Jan 1, 2010 to April 1, 10.



I can display multiple dates with this code:



Me.txtTitle = "Commission" & " " & Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate & " " &
"To" & " " & Forms!frmCommission!cboEndDate



but I don't know how to tell it to pick the correct code based on the start
and End date.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jim,

How about this ......

If Month(Forms!frmCommission!cboEndDate) =
Month(Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate) then
Me.txtTitle = "Commission" & " " &
Format(Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate, "mmmm/yyyy")
Else
Me.txtTitle = "Commission" & " " & Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate & "
" & _
"To" & " " & Forms!frmCommission!cboEndDate
End If

IF Format(Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate,"mmyyyy") =
Format(Forms!frmCommission!cboEndDate,"mmyyyy" THEN

Me.txtTitle = "Commission " & _
Format(Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate,"mmm/yyyy")
ELSE
Me.txtTitle = "Commission " & _
Forms!frmCommission!cboStartDate & " To " & _
Forms!frmCommission!cboEndDate
END IF

Thanks, both codes work. However, I have to close the report and reopen it
twice before the title displays. Is there something else I need to do?

Jim,

Put the code on the report's open event.

When I do that, it tells me I can't assign a value to this object error
number -2147352567 (800200009)

I put it in the On Format event in the Report Header section and it's
working now.
Thanks
