MS Access 2010: Caption for Form

This MSAccess tutorial explains the Caption property for a form in Access 2010 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

Caption Property

In Access 2010, the Caption property is the value that displays in the title bar of your form. Let's look at how to set the caption for a form.

In this example, we've set the Caption property to "Add/Edit Products". This means that "Add/Edit Products" is the value that will be displayed in the title bar of the form.

As you can see there is a title bar at the top of the form and it displays the value that we set in the Caption property.
