Variable across multiple forms/reports

[Poyan]

My apologies for the newbie question.

I have created an access database with several forms and reports. Is there a way to put some text on the header of every form and report, which can also be changed simultaneously?

The database is essentially a template I plan to use on each new project, and I want to be able to input the name of the new project on every form and report easily.

Thanks.

A couple of ways come to mind. You can put the value in a table, and get it there with a DLookup, etc. You could use a global constant, and return the value with a public function. You don't even need the constant, you can just have the function return the value directly. Using either method, all of your forms and reports can get the value from the central location.
