Par2: Hiding a band on a report at runtime
1998-08-04 -- Stan Guru
 
In WindowManager Method Executable Code Section
under OpenReport, Priority Last

(Sys:Firm_Name is the Header Band)

CASE MESSAGE('Do you have Letter head?','Letter
Head',ICON:Question,'&Yes|&No',2,0)
OF 1
    SETTARGET(Report1,?sys:Firm_Name:3)
    Report1$?sys:FIRM_NAME:3{PROP:Hide} = 1
    SETTARGET()
end

Arnor Baldvinsson notes:
Take a look at the docs for SetTarget.  The second parameter
determines the THREAD number to set target to.  You are passing it a
use variable, so it's trying to set the target to some thread that may
not be running or whatever.  Just use:

SetTarget(Report)
    ?Sys:Firm_Name:3{Prop:Hide} = True
SetTarget()

OR
  Report$?Sys:Firm_Name:3{Prop:Hide} = True

Where Report is the label of the report.
