Format part of a text string
I'm working on a bibliography and need to italicize the title of the book in
the text string. I want the format to be: Last name, First name, Title [italicized], Publisher, Year, # of pages. There must be a way of doing this in Access 2007. Any ideas? Rod |

Format part of a text string
If the biblio listing is part of a report, you can have each of the elements
(last name, first name, title) be a separate field in the report detail. Each can then be formatted separately.

Format part of a text string
Thanks for the suggestion. I am storing the information in separate fields.
But I want to string the fields together in a bibliography format. As I mentioned, I need to have the title italicized. I researched the format function, but it doesn't appear that this is an option. I guess my question is how to create a text string where one of the fields can be formatted separate from the other ones. This seems like such an obvious need, I must just be missing something!

I don't know if there is a solution, but I would check out
www.Lebans.com Stephen has done a lot of things with reports that I am amazed about. So browse his site and see if there is something there.
