Dynamically Change Layout Title

[DJH]

I would like to dynamically change a portion of a layout/report title based on user input.

I have created a script to produce a report and would like the user to be able to indicate the scope of the data in the report; for instance, "First Qtr 2007", or "May 2007", or "Last Half 2006".

The only thing I can find that comes close is the script command Show Custom Dialog. However, this command places the user input into a field in a table. This data is not related to a specific record in a table, but to the report itself - hence, the inclusion in the title.

So, is there a way to have the user dynamically enter a portion of the title of a report?

Thanks.

Use a global field. This displays its value for all records in the table.

Thanks Vaughan. That's exactly what I wanted to do!
