Urgent Help Please Or Ill Get Fired :( - Bolding Dates Only

[yepwingtim]

I working in a doctor's office for a week or so - been transporting data I have a section called "Patient History" in memo form.

I want to know how can I bold all the dates in the field. An example would be like this

08/25 2HR GTT(Q): GLUCOSE (FASTING, 1HR, 2HR) 83, 145, 69 WNL
NO INSULIN LEVELS
12/01 E2 38, LH 15.3, PROG 0.7 (Q)
2/14/08 E2 53 FSH 5.2 LH 12.4 PROG 0.7(Q)
01/05/08 SMA WNL; LIPID PANEL WNL (Q)
01/05 FSH 5.2, LH 16.3, E2 68, PROG 0.8
01/05 TFT: TSH 1.63, T4 9.2, FT4 1.2
01/08 ANDROGENS: TOTAL T 18, FREET 3.5, %FREE T 1.9; DAHS 175, AM-CORT 146; ANDRO?SDIONE/17-OHP NOT DONE
01/09 2HR GTT: GLUCOSE (FASTING, 1H, 2H)- 80, 110, 73

If this data is all in one field, then you are gunna get fired. Goodbye

You can't selectively bold text in a text box. You would need to use a Rich Text Box control like this one here:

All in one MEMO field? Don't let them fire you, tell them to fire the database programmer! That is a BIG no, no.

FIRED!!

The RTF example at Lebans (Thanks boblarson) is your only possible saving grace bro.

That is a bit of a problem. Using things like this RTF control takes a bit more knowledge and programming skill than you probably have. It is not that hard to an experienced user/programmer, but to try to go through and create a tutorial on it is a bit beyond the time I think most of us have to give.

Sorry that I can't put a more positive spin on this.

I second that motion. All in favor say aye.

 

[CraigDolphin]

Aye... and aye again because just typing in 'aye' is too short a message to post (according to the forum )

 

[Banana]

Aye!

And on that note, I think I found a picture of OldSoftBoss...

 

[boblarson]

aye.......

Can you tell me exactly step by step how to do this?

1. Go to your local newspaper stand
   
2. Purchase the local paper
   
3. Turn to the "Help Wanted Section"
   
4. Start scanning

And, for the record yepwingtim, we're just having some fun ...not trying to be nasty to you personally. However, we've seen a lot of claims, by a lot of posters, about needing urgent help because the boss will sack them otherwise. You might say we're a little jaded about such because it often comes across as manipulative emotional blackmail.

If true, your boss should not fire you because what you need to do is not possible in the database given how it was set-up by the db designer and also given that you are not an access developer. If that's really what your boss expects, then feel free to get him to post here directly and we'll be sure to tell him exactly that. And maybe to add he's a twit for such ridiculous expectations.

Also, there's a thread that contains a list of recurring issues on the forum that tends to get posts ignored, or worse. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=122354

I'm only mentioning this as you're obviously very new to the forum and may be unaware of these commonly recurring issues.

 

[twoplustwo]

Aye.

And lol Linq

 

[Oldsoftboss]

Aye!

Harsh, very harsh Banana

Oh and PS: Aye aye aye

Don't let them fire you, tell them to fire the database programmer!

Yep, but probably already gone (thus your involvment), then hire one of us at an hourly rate to clean it up.
