Hi Randy,

One more thing to add here, I'm not sure if $assign works with " calculate
as", so I would change the line of code to

Do
$root.$ireports.rbusinesslabelsfx.$objs.OBJECTNAME.$textcolor.$assign(kTrue)

Regards,
Mayada

Hi Randy,

I think the problem is that $textcolor is not a property of a report, it is
a property of objects in the report class.

You need the name of the object here:
  $root.$ireports.rbusinesslabelsfx.$objs.OBJECTNAME.$textcolor.$assign
