I have a field that looks like the one below and would like to make the Title: Author: and File text bold.
Title: Title of report
Author: Some Author
File: some_document.doc
I started out trying to use replace but if I put the html bold tags outside the "Title" quotation marks, report server errors out. If I put them inside the "Title" Quotation marks then I see the html tags in my report.
=(Replace(Fields!AnalysisReference_Value.Value,"Title","Title"))
I also tried to use the below bold function but it also displays the html tages on the page instead of making the title bold.
-------------------------------------------------
Function bold(strInput, strSearch)
Dim istart
Dim iend
Dim icur
Dim strOutput
dim intLen
strOutput = strInput
intLen = Len(strSearch)
icur = 1
istart = InStr(icur, strOutput, strSearch, 1)
Do While istart
strOutput = Left(strOutput, istart - 1) & "<b>" & Mid(strOutput, istart, intLen) & "</b>" _
& Mid(strOutput, istart + intLen)
icur = istart + intLen + 7
istart = InStr(icur, strOutput, strSearch, 1)
Loop
bold = strOutput
End Function
---------------------------------------------------
Anyway to make the Title: bold in a report server 2005 report?
Thanks

I think this is impossible. Only way is to make the textbox into two, one for 'Title:' and another for 'Title of report '.

Then make the first text box bold.

Please feel free to let me know if you are not clear or I’ve misunderstood anything.

I must be missing something. Can you not set the Font properties of the Textbox to bold?

Hi.

Why not divide each row into two fields directly? Then, you can change the first field bold.

Regards,

sounds like it may be more work that what it is worth. The reference field can have one or multiple references, some have as many as 5 or 6 references all in one field in the db.
