Such a thing as mixed italic-plain?

[Guest]

I'm working on reports containing scientific names of deep-sea fishes which
requires the use of italics. I've seen the lady.zip database that allows the
mixing of bold and plain text within a single control and was wondering if
this would be easily modified to work for italics.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated....though I don't really want to
have to use OLE objects if I can avoid it.
Thanks!

Again, as long as you only need a single line solution the code can easily
be modified to create Italic text. If you look at the code you will see it
sets the Bold property of the Report object. Just change all occurances of
setting the Bold prop to Italic instead.

Thanks for your quick response!
So what if I need more than a single line solution? Am I just flat out of
luck?
I didn't think I'd have a problem modifying the lady.zip code, but I was
really unsure of the possiblity of the case by case basis that I need italics
for my reports.

It's a single line solution only. For a multiple line solution you need to
use a Rich Text ActiveX control.
