JimP said:Thanks for the pointer. The following code, while simple, is working -
except that I want to right align the text (Text186). I'm not sure that is
possible. The value for Me.CurrentX seems to force a left align.
Private Sub PageHeader0_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Me!Text186.Visible = False
With Me
.ScaleMode = TWIPS
.FontBold = True
.CurrentX = Me!Text186.Left
.CurrentY = Me!Text186.Top
Me.Print "Client Ref : ";
.FontBold = False
Me.Print Me!Text186
End With
End Sub

JimP said:No - cosmetically this solution seems to right align better because the
field length varies considerably. The code below is working though.
One question - is it necessary to loop through the controls collection to
identify the control, rather than addressing it directly (i.e. For Each
CtlDetail In Me.Section(acPageHeader).Controls)
=========================
'Subroutine to concatenate a label (bold) and a text field (unbold) and
right align
Private Sub PageHeader0_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Dim CtlDetail As control
strLabel = "Client Ref : " 'Label Description
strField = "Text186" 'Field Name
For Each CtlDetail In Me.Section(acPageHeader).Controls
If CtlDetail.NAME = strField Then
CtlDetail.Visible = False
Me.ScaleMode = TWIPS
intFieldWidth = CtlDetail.Width
Me.FontName = CtlDetail.FontName
Me.FontSize = CtlDetail.FontSize
intTextWidth = TextWidth(CtlDetail)
Me.FontBold = True
intLabelWidth = TextWidth(strLabel)
Me.CurrentX = CtlDetail.Left + intFieldWidth - intLabelWidth -
intTextWidth
Me.CurrentY = CtlDetail.Top + 30 'set to center TNR 11 pt
vertically
Me.Print strLabel;
Me.FontBold = False
Me.Print CtlDetail.Value
End If
Next CtlDetail
End Sub
