Superscript letters in reports statement

T

Terry M

Hello

I have an Access app that creates various reports for analytical results
from a lab.

One of the reports has a sub-report that prints results in a text box like
the following

[TestName] & " " & [Result]

This all works fine but now I have been asked to print one particilar
[TestName] in a format with two letters superscripted at the end. Formating
the string all caps or all lower case etc I inderstand but superscripting
one particular case has me a bit puzzled.

Has anybody had to to something like this.

Thanks

Access doesn't have that capability built into it. You could try using an
RTF control (Stephen Lebans has a free one at
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm), but note that you'll have to use the
RTF commands to get the superscripts, so the text will look odd when not
displayed in the RTF control.
