Conditional Centering of text

[Guest]

I would like to center the printout in a text box based on a Yes/No field set
on. Apparently centering of text is not available in Conditional Formatting.
Is there sample code I can go to for this?

Also I want to set Can Grow and Can Shrink on for this text box. When
Conditional Formatting is used and either Can Grow or Can Shrink or both is
set on, nothing prints!

Please, any help as soon as possible is appreciated.

Thanks

MIKE

Forget about Conditional Formatting. Simply set the control's props
inthe Format event of the section containing the control(s) in question.

This is the detail section, so are you talking about the On Format property?
Should I use the Code option there?

In the Format event of the Detail section you would place code to do
something like:

If NameOfBooleanControl.Value = True Then
NameOfTextBoxWhereYouWantTextCentered.TextAlign = 2 ' centered
Else
NameOfTextBoxWhereYouWantTextCentered.TextAlign = 0 ' general
End if
