Alright - I have tried everything in here. I am trying to highlight certain tex in a textbox. I already have the code to open, a file to the textbox and I know how to see if the string is in a textbox. I am using Instr(LCase(Text1.text)), LCase(X)) to find the text and tell me if it's there bu now I need to highlight the text. I would also like to know how to find the NEXT match in the textbox if you guys could help me with that. Thanks a lot guys/gals
