Format text in a string - in a textbox...

[air1access]

I am tryin' to format text in a textbox on a report...
I need the words "GTWY" and "Schd Date" in bold font. The string can start with either "GTWY" or "Schd Date" or be in the middle of the string following right after a comma (","). How can I format the string to show only these words in bold font...??
Below is an example of what I'm working with...
Any suggestions or examples...??
Thanks in advance..!!

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim strGTWY As String
Dim strSchdDate As String
Dim intLeft As Integer
Dim intTop As Integer

If Not IsNull(Me.txtWanChanges) Then

strGTWY = Left(Me.txtWanChanges, InStr(Me.txtWanChanges, " ") - 1)
'Instr(StringToCheck,StringToMatch,StartPosition)

strSchdDate = Mid(Me.txtWanChanges, InStr(Me.txtWanChanges, " ") + 1)

Me.CurrentX = Me.txtWanChanges.Left
Me.CurrentY = Me.txtWanChanges.Top
Me.ForeColor = vbBlue
Me.fontsize = 8
Me.FontBold = True
Me.FontName = "Arial"
Me.Print strGTWY & " "
Me.FontBold = False
Me.FontName = "Arial"
Me.CurrentY = Me.txtWanChanges.Top
Me.Print strSchdDate

End If

End Sub

Sorry mate but when it comes down to a more fundamental level, text boxes are of the class "simple text" which means properties apply to whole thing rather than any character(s).

You could investigate rtf (rich text format) controls, or even funkier, breaking up your string and dynamically creating text boxes but its major work.

I have it "almost" working.... Just need to know how to work around the "commas". I can get it to bold the words "GTWY" only and "Schd" only with strGTWY... So theres gotta be a way to print in bold only the words that I need...!!! Man - I'm almost there..!!!

Thanks...!!!
