    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Sorry, I submitted before I finished. What I need to do is subscript the numbers in red, but the number "2" in black needs to be left full size. These exceptions to the subscripting would always occur after the "•". Can you qualify a VB script regular expression to not include some things...

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    strongm and/or anyone that can help I have been working with you suggested code, but I am still having trouble implementing it. I want to use it in an Access Report, but there is a bug with ActiveX controls where you can't see the rich textbox content in print preview mode, so I am using a MS...

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Sheco, My rich text box name was originally rtb1, but I changed it to match strongm's code. Now my rtb name is "RichTextBox1", but I don't have anything called Text1. What is that line of code doing anyway? The line: RichTextBox1.Text = Text1.Text comes from strongm. I guess we may have to...

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Sheco, It didn't give the same error message! But now I get a Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time '424'; Object required error message and the debug routine highlights the line RichTextBox1.Text = Text1.Text

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    the Report_Open() event did work automatically when I used the bit of code you generated, but when I use the code for the subscripting it doesn't. :(

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Sheco, I am not sure what is going on. I got your code to work like a charm in the same database I have the report! I have Access 2002, but not sure if that is the problem!

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Sheco, I thought I had to tell the MS Access Report to run this code explicitly. In the Properties of the MS Access Report there is an Event tab. One of the events is "On Open" and I have set that equal to my function name which is Report_Open(). I have tried to open the report without...

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Hi strongm, I have added the reference library and added back in 'Option Explicit' and there are no longer undefined variables. How do I now get this to run? In a MS Access report, there are no buttons. I have this RTB in the detail section of the report and I have an On Format, On Print...

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Hi strongm, I am getting some errors: User-defined type not defined for New RegExp removed options explicit, helped some, but still some undefined variables? Suggestions? Thanks for your time. P.S. Sheco...you must be a chemist or a good student! Pentahydrate it is.

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    strongm, Thanks for the code. I have placed it in my MS Access Report. How is the code activated? Does it run automatically when the report is opened? Do I need to add it to the ON FORMAT as an event procedure? Sorry for the questions, it is all new to me.

    How to Subscript text in a RichText Box

    Hi johnwm, My first sticking point is how to select only numbers in the string? This is complicated a bit as I hope the following example will show. Given the [MF]= CuS04·2H2O, I only want the code to subscript numbers that DON'T appear after a "·". In this example then, after subscripting...

    Hiding Label and Text Box in Report if Text Box is Null

    misscrf, Thanks for you input, I did not mention it, but I did set the detail section property Can Shrink to yes as well as the individual "Label" text boxes and data text boxes. I started to build the report from scratch and I now have the "Labels" and text boxes being hidden depending on the...

    dhookom and ZmrAbdulla, Thanks so much for responding. I started down a slightly different path which will hopefully lead to the same result. Using suggestions from thread703-415220, I have changed mylabels to text boxes and used the following "code" in the control source for the "Label" text...

    Hiding Label and Text Box in Report if Text Box is Null

    Hi dhookom, Thanks for your feedback, unfortunately I must be doing something wrong, because it is not working for me. Do you have any suggestions as to where I might look for a problem? I have set the appropriate text boxes to Can Shrink - Yes. Could it have something to do with my Border...

    Hiding Label and Text Box in Report if Text Box is Null

    Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately it is not working for me. Using your method I still see the word "Description" when the field [Description] is null. I must be missing something. You are correct, if the text box has no value, nothing is displayed...but I wanted to make the text box...
