Change name of a field in a layout using a script ?

[Normand]

Is it possible to specify the name of a field to be printed on a report layout using a script ?

I have a report that has to be printed 6 different ways. The 6 reports are almost identical, where the only difference resides in the name of 1 field that changes in each of these reports. So I would like to create only 1 layout instead of 6, and use a script (or whatever technique appropriate) that would get the proper field name to print, based on a selection made by the user.

Is this possible ?

Thanks.

There is no way to dynamically change a name of a field, but use an extra field as a label with a global value to display labels.

Yes It is possible.

All you need is a global and a calc field.

Make the calc field be unstored = GetField( YourGlobal ) and set the Global field equal to your field name.

That's it ! It works great.

Thanks to both of you.

Name of a field is a static and unchangable in FMP. Using global is actually "a value of a field not actual name" see above.
