Label problem

[DaoK]

Here is the code :

label1.caption = "This is my number : " & VARIABLE1 & "/" & Variable2

How can i have only the variable1 in bold ?

You could creat a second label with autosize and bold, fill it with variable one, and zorder it to the front over part of label one. Then instead of
label1.caption = "This is my number : " & VARIABLE1 & "/" & Variable2
say
label1.caption = "This is my number : " & Space(Len(label2.caption) +1) & "/" & Variable2
move label2 to be just right of "number" in label1.

... well that so evil way ...

You could also try:
-finding another control that you could use ie. a rich text box disabled with no border and set to be grey, that might work
-finding a way to get the width of a letter on the screen so that you can programmatically set the spacing better.

I will think to it ...

Hi Daok
Why not just print your 'label' directly to the form
This may appear to be long code but you could set up a sub to handle all of the formatting and just call for each new label that needs diff internal formats.

        Me.Print "This is my number : ";
        .FontBold = True
        Me.Print Variable1;
        .FontBold = False
