text formatting on different sources in an unbound text box

Howdy all,

I have an unbound text box in a report with the following control
source:

=[genus] & " " & [epithet] & " " & [taxa_author]

What I am trying to do is italicize the [genus] and [epithet] parts
but not the [taxa_author] part.

I have played around with this for a while, but to no avail. I can
probably write a macro to do it, but was wondering if there was a more
straightforward way to accomplish this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In a normal TextBox the font applies to the whole string. To change
individual elements of the string you'd have to use a Rich Text Format
(RTF) Text Box. This control is available in the Access Developer's
Edition (for the Access version you are using). I believe Tony Toews
has a version on his website.

(acc 2002) I've got six unbound text boxes on a subform that has a white background. Each of those six boxes has an expression that when true, will change its background from white to another color. These text boxes need to go behind a single line of other bound text boxes (which show the actual record). I.e., the purpose of the unbound text boxes w/conditional formatting is to highlight the record/background with one of six colors.

I need to create different recordsets based on queries that use data from unbound fields in a form. I've discovered that I can't do this, and instead need to save the data in question (usually a text string) to a table. I'm thinking the best way to do this is to use a Make Table query -- that way the table stays small -- one row -- and there is less chance for something to get overwritten. But how to create a make table query from...

I've got a report that has a series of unbound text boxes that are being populated by some variables in code. The format is supposed to be a currancy format, but on a certain series of boxes, I need add " ** " or something to denote those particular boxes so they can get the reader to see the footnote for those figures. The report is currently setup to put the text in those boxes in red. This is all well and good on the screen - but...

Hi, I would like to make a bound text box not visible if it is empty (not just disable it). This option is not available from the standard conditional formatting feature (at least, not that I can find). I thought of calling a class module function via Expression Builder for the control. I have written a basic function, but don't seem to be able to pass the relevant arguments correctly. It seems to me that I need to pass two...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
