Programming Window Titles
By default, the title of a form (or page, for that matter) is “Untitled,” which is not very descriptive or useful. You can use the Formula language to set the form title, which is a very good habit to get into. Just follow these steps:
1. | Open the form or page. |
2. | Select the Window Title element on the Objects tab of the Programmer's Pane. |
3. | Enter a formula in the Programmer's pane. |
4. | Save the form or page. |
5. | Test the form or page. |
