Answer 1

The TextBox control in VB 6 has properties that can be manipulated with your code. The accessible font-related properties are listed below:
FontBold
FontItalic
FontName
FontSize
FontStrikethrough
FontUnderline

For example, if you need to make the textbox named myTextbox bold, the code would be like this:
myTextbox.FontBold = True
You can access DataReport controls via its controls collection properties like this:
DataReport1.Sections("Section2").Controls(“myTextbox”).FontBold = True
Please note that change would affect whole text in the Textbox. If part of text need to be changed, the RichTextBox should be used.
