The control DOES have a bold property but I only want part of the string to be bold, Im looling for a Ucase type of command.......

But I think its simple not possible

Mid(string, start[, length])

Dim MyString, FirstWord, LastWord, MidWords

MyString = "Mid Function Demo"   ' Create text string.
FirstWord = Mid(MyString, 1, 3)   ' Returns "Mid".
LastWord = Mid(MyString, 14, 4)   ' Returns "Demo".
MidWords = Mid(MyString, 5)   ' Returns "Function Demo".

It would depend on the calendar control. You can't give a string properties like bold. A string is just a bit of data. If the control lets you bold part of its display, then that's up to the control. We can't really advise you on specific, non-common controls.
