File: Changing Field Heading in a Report, Form, or Data File
Last reviewed: October 26, 1994

Article ID: Q28760

Summary:

In Microsoft File, the field headings (shown above the field names) in a report or List Helper form can be changed in the following three areas:


 * The data file window
 * The form window
 * The report window

Changes made to the report headings are independent of the field headings in the data file, so there can actually be two sets of headings.

If the form is in List Helper view, the headings will already be showing. To show the headings when out of List Helper, do the following:


 * 1) In the form, position the mouse pointer on the top border of the field names.
 * 2) Hold down the mouse button and drag down about .25 inch, or until the field headings show.

Once the headings are showing, they can be edited in either the form window or the data file window. Click in one of the headings and edit it as if it were any standard text box.

To change the report field headings in the heading row, click in the heading to be changed and edit the text.
