Henry,

The code you have written seems to be fine. I suspect that for the first
argument to the dw_1.GetChild function , you may have specified the
datawindow object name instead of  a report name. To specify a report
name, right click on the report in the dw and click on properties.

Thanks

John.

Henry,

You are right the report is read only. Hence it does not allow to change the
text content.
Also Object is not a valid property for DatawindowChild.

Thanks

John

John,
Thank you for your reply. I checked the  report name again. It was right, I
used the name of the report not a datawindow. When I used GetRow () function
it returned right value. It does not work only when I tried to change a
properties of the child datawindow. Maybe it's in read only mode?
Thanks,

Henry
