    Can't assign a value to a text box

    I have a report where I'm wanting to populate the values of some text box controls in the Report's Open event. However, I keep getting errors like this:

    Click image for larger version.

    What's with this problem?

    In the open event, the form or report hasn't finished building yet. Assuming the controls are unbound or otherwise are updatable, I'd use the load event (which comes after) to set values. If that doesn't work for you, you may have to use the report format event.
