Recalling variables in report header from a form.

[Mike_B]

I have a basic form created, that asks the operator to input the part serial number in what is EDITBOX1 on the form. Once in the program, ASSIGN/EDITBOX1="" and then ASSIGN/V_SN="" Over in the report label edit, I made sure its a text field where I then enter =variable("v_sn") and apply, close. Once I execute, the field does not populate. This worked for me in 2012, we just upgraded to 2019 this past week and I am just now trying this out.

You got the right report label? and you said apply, you mean you saved it right? open it back up and double check you have the right label, default label is FILE_HEADER.lbl

Yes, file header.lbl. applied, then saved, all the normal stuff. I can get it to recall tracefield data by entering =tracefield(1) but not my form data.

Make sure "V_SN" is all capital letters, I'll double check mine in a few, I think I had to do this to make it stick

It's going to be a bit, make sure everything is CAPITAL

Ok, fixed it. Turns out during the transition, my sample program lost the section where I assigned parameters to the form value. So I left a gap in there. Got it now. Sheesh. Lots of steps to translate that form data to the report.
