ACC1x: No Form Caption in Run-Time Application

Q109937

---

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Access Distribution Kit, version 1.1

---

SUMMARY

If you build an application to be distributed, make sure to include the TitleBar statement in the [Run-Time Options] section of your application's .INI file. If you do not, the title bar in your application will not display a caption. Additionally, no caption will be displayed when a table, query, form, or report is maximized.

MORE INFORMATION

The following example demonstrates how to correctly modify the [Run-Time Options] section of your application's .INI file:

1. Use a text editor such as Notepad to modify the [Run-Time Options] section of your application's .INI file to match the following:
   

         [Run-Time Options]
         TitleBar=This Is My Application 

2. Run your application. Note that the application title bar displays the caption:
   

         This Is My Application 

3. Maximize an object such as a table, query, form, or report. Note that the application title bar displays the caption:
   

         This Is My Application - [xxxxxx] 

4. Close your application.

5. Modify the [Run-Time Options] section of your application's .INI file to match the following:
   

         [Run-Time Options]
         ;TitleBar=This Is My Application 

   
   The semicolon comments out the line so it is ignored.

6. Run your application again. Note that the application's title bar is empty.
