Bold Problem

[Vensia]

Dear all,

In my report, there are three text boxes: CompanyName (visible=false),
CompanyAddress (visible=false), and txtCompany (visible=true).
The third text box will contain :
Me!txtCompany = Me!CompanyName & vbCrLf & Me!CompanyAddress

But I want only the font of Company Name is bold. Is it possible ?
Thanks.

Not with a standard Access control. You would have to use a rich text ActiveX
control or programmatically print the data using the print method in the Format
event of the section.

You can't have 2 different formats in on control.

Why do you want to create one control out of the two?
Make the [CompanyName] visible (with a Bold font), and place the
[CompanyAddress] control below the name (visible with regular font),
and you have solved your problem.

You can remove what you don't need.
Put two text controls on top each other and add spaces the
same number as the bold text is long.
bold_text = "BOLD"
other_text= " " & "your other text"
4 spaces at this location---^
NOTE: you must use a fixed width font


Dim space_text As string
Dim space_text1 As string
Dim n_text As string
Dim n1_text as string
Dim bold_text as string
Dim b_text_len As Integer
Dim n_text_len As Integer
Dim i As Integer

i=0

' NEW BOLD TEXT CONVERSION CODE
' IF NEEDED YOU COULD SEARCH ONE LONG FIELD
' FOR THE BOLD SECTION YOU NEED AND PARSE IT OUT
' TO THE THREE VALUES BELOW

bold_text= "Amount"
n_text = "" 'Your first section of non-bold text
n1_text= "" 'Your second section of non bold text

n_text_len = Len(BOLD_TEXT.Value)

'THIS SECTION COUNTS THE NUMBER OF SPACE TO THE BOLD TEXT
Do While i < n_text_len
space_text = space_text & " "
i = i + 1
Loop

i=0
b_text_len = Len(BOLD_TEXT.Value)

'THIS SECTION COUNTS THE NUMBER OF SPACE TO THE BOLD TEXT
Do While i < b_text_len
space_text1 = space_text1 & " "
i = i + 1
Loop


'PLACE THREE TEXT CONTOLS THAT ARE A FIXED WIDTH FONT ON TOP EACH OTHER
text1.value=n_text
Text2.Value = space_text & b_text
text3.value= space_text & space_text2 & n1_text

Why I don't create one control out of the two?

This is an invoice report.
I put the customer information at the left side and many other text controls
at the right side like invoice no, invoice date, currency, PO number, and PO
date.
Actually I want the font of customer name is bold and bigger than the
customer address.
In some cases, the Customer Name is too long and it will take 2 lines.
If I'm using one control for Customer Name dan set CanGrow=True, when the
customer name is displayed in two lines, the the other text controls at the
right side move to below.

Thanks.

I want to use Arial font and the font of Customer Name is bigger than the
Customer Address.
Is it possible using this below code?
In my previous post, I made false with the field name.
Thanks.

I don't think Arial is a fixed width font and this only works if the
text sizes are the same.
