I'm relatively new to FM so this may be easy or it might not be possible. I have a script that finds and then sorts data for a report. What I want to know is there any way to use a script to change header text? Ideally this would be for a label only, I don't have any fields in the header.

Welcome to the Forums.

The simplest way would be to put a field where your header text is, which you can then modify via a script, using SetField[]. You can then also modify it manually, if you wish.

Hi,

I'm begginer too and I going through same problem. If you can explain this with example and little bit more detail I really appreciate.

Thanks

Put a global text field in the header to hold the title. You can set it in a script using Set Field [globaltextfield; "desired title"] or allow users to specify their own title by putting the field on a separate layout, going to that layout and pausing, then continuing to the report layout, where the user-entered title will then appear in the header. It is probably easiest to make it a merge field with its dimensions formatted as large as possible for a single page, then centered.
