Add your Report Name to Page Footer…

Put the TEXT box on the Report and in the Control Source put…

=[Name]

OR to get the Report Name and the Date/Time

=[Name] & "  Printed on " & Now()

OR to get the Report Name and the Date

=[Name] & "  Printed on " & Date()

…now if you change the Name of the Report you don’t have to worry about updating a LABEL, it will do it for you.

…

In addition, you can also add the RecordSource of your Report…
(This only works if you use a Naming Convention!)

='(Based on ' & IIf(Left([RecordSource],3)="tbl","Table","Query") & ':  "' & [RecordSource] & '")'

And another way that takes more then just Tables and Queries into account…
