Setting ubound textbox value in Report

[Monterey_Manzer]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having some difficulty setting values for some unbound text boxes on a report of mine using VBA. Doing a quick search of various Access programming sites, everyone seems to be suggesting the straightforward code: Me.myTextBox.Value = x. Unfortunately when I use this plain and simple approach I receive the dreaded run time error 2448 - 'You can't assign a value to this object'. The code I am using is posted below and I would appreciate any thoughts any of you may have.

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim myARPTID As Integer, strSQL As String, strRST As String, rst As DAO.Recordset, AccTitle(5) As String, AccType(3) As String
    Dim AccSum(5) As String, DateAcc(5) As Date, i As Integer
    
    'Getting the specific Annual Report ID for selecting the list of accomplishments
    myARPTID = Forms![ARPT-CA].fARPTID
    Debug.Print myARPTID
    
    strSQL = "SELECT PartInfo.[Participant Name], ARPT.AProfGoal, PartInfo.Cohort, PartInfo.[Sponsoring Service]," & _
             " PartInfo.[STEM Discipline], ARPT.APRTID" & _
             " FROM PartInfo INNER JOIN ARPT ON PartInfo.[Smart Id] = ARPT.SMARTID" & _
             " WHERE (((ARPT.APRTID)=" & myARPTID & "));"

        Me.RecordSource = strSQL
    ' Getting any accomplishments for this participant
    strRST = "SELECT ARACC.AccTitle, ARACC.DateAcc, ARACC.AccType, ARACC.AccSum" & _
             " FROM ARPT INNER JOIN ARACC ON ARPT.APRTID = ARACC.ARPTID" & _
             " WHERE (((ARPT.APRTID)=" & myARPTID & "))"
    
    Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strRST)
    
     ' Looping through potential accomplishments and assigning them to arrays
    i = 1
    Do Until rst.EOF
        AccTitle(i) = rst![AccTitle]
        DateAcc(i) = rst![DateAcc]
        AccType(i) = rst![AccType]
        AccSum(i) = rst![AccSum]
        i = i + 1
        rst.MoveNext
    Loop
        
    ' Accomplishment 1
    Me.txtAcc1.SetFocus
    Me.txtAcc1.Value = AccSum(1)
    Me.txtAccTitle1.Value = AccTitle(1)
    Me.txtType1.Value = AccType(1)
    ' Accomplishment 2
    Me.txtAcc2.Text = AccSum(2)
    Me.txtAccTitle2.Text = AccTitle(2)
    Me.txtType2.Text = AccType(2)
    ' Accomplishment 3
    Me.txtAcc3.Text = AccSum(3)
    Me.txtAccTitle3.Text = AccTitle(3)
    Me.txtType3.Text = AccType(3)
      
End Sub

Of course, now that I post it I figure out a work around. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

My solution was I moved the code setting the unbound text boxes from the Open event to the Load event. Between that and swapping out all the Text properties for Value properties I seem to have addressed my most pressing issue.

Thanks for posting your solution; it could help somebody later. As you found, the open event is too soon. I'll mark this thread solved for you.
