Global Procedure "Problem"

edited September 2003 in RAP
Hi, I have a global procedure along the
lines of:

SetFont(xx: TppDBText);
begin
..call a function to get a font name and then
xx.Font.Name := thenewfontname;
end;

In ReportBeforePrint, if I use

SetFont(aName);

the font for the aName does not change.

If I copy the code from the global procedure
into the ReportBeforePrint code, the font does
change.

Is there a problem, with trying to set a font
this way? (or am I doing something stupid again?)

Thanks.

    Ignore that question, it turns out that if I use

    var
    theName: TppDBText;
    begin
    theName := aName; <== aName is a DBText on the report
    SetFont(theName);

    it passes nothing as far as I can tell. If I use

    SetFont(aName);

    it works. Intellectual curiosity compels me to ask
    why the first doesn't work <g>. Thanks.
