In a macro, I set
Action: SetProperty
In Arguments, I set
Control Name: Forms![frm成交].[Caption]
Property: Enabled
Value: “Dealing”
I keep receiving the error shown in the screenshot.
Please help.
Thanks.

What is the control name on the form? You should refer to the control name’s caption like:

Forms![frm成交]!Controlname.[Caption]

Thanks for your help. How to find the Controlname? I suppose [frm成交] is the Controlname. [frm成交] is the name of the form which calls the macro.

So you want to change the forms caption?

Again i ask why use macros, it’s easier usingvba code and you have far more control over vba code than macros.

By the way, why do you wish to change the form’s caption?

Hi Patt,
Thanks for your interesting questions.
>So you want to change the forms caption?
Just for my study and test. My actual aim is to change the order of the display.

Well, it’s because I’m reading chapters on macros.

Hi Patt,
I just find the solution.
The proper way to the caption:
—————————
Control Name: [blank]
Property: Caption
Value: Dealing
—————————
It works for me.
Thanks for your help.
