You can use a label if you want, try with =STR(m.Year) + 'Auto Mileage' however how did you define the variable m.Year ? so try it with =TRANSFORM(YEAR(DATE()))+' Auto Mileage' or if it is not a variable but a field than you should get year from your reportcursor and in that case use a textbox Regards, Koen

I've always used a textbox if there is variable data to be displayed. Labels are for fixed/constant text.

Be sure your putting it into a text field not a label.

I want the header on a report to display the year from a variable

I think I solved this years ago with the use of a special character
or
syntax but I can't remember what it was.
Thanks in advance for any help,
