Have you considered instead making the call from the Init method? Or the refresh, if the caption is prone to change?

>Within form designer, I'm trying to set up a function to display the caption for a field name. Basically, this function, at run time, goes awau to a file and gets a caption based on a parameter. Function as follows:

>=ScreLookup('SomeTexthere')

>This works ok, but on the design screen, the minute I put in the = sign (to work as a function otherwise it takes the text of the function as the caption) the caption becomes invisible, so I dont know if I have ANY caption there or not.
