Re-Post - Unusual Formatting Problem

[Robbo1974]

Hi all,

Apologies for re-posting but this is driving me crazy!

I have a control in a report which pulls together a set of values from various fields thus:

Control Source = "Order Number " & [oldordernumber] & ", placed by " & [placedby] & " on " & [date] & " Type = " & [Type]

In order to display an order number, who placed it, when it was placed and what type of order it was.

I want to display the information from field [type] in bold, leaving the rest as normal.

Example:

Order Number is R555

It was placed by John Smith

It was placed on 13/04/02

The type of order is repeat

So I want the control to display like this:

Order Number R555, placed by John Smith on 13/04/02 Type = Repeat

Any ideas on how can I do it?

Thanks in advance, Iain
Robbo ;-)

I don't think you can do this. You would have to have a separate text box with its font weight set to bold. Have fun! )

I have the same problem/question. How do you bold and underline three words in a text box sentence in a report?

Dear Robbo1974
Why not use Conditional Formatting to highlight the entire text box?
and colour code it for the different significance?
