179870 2003-10-06 23:50:00 Could also try . . .

If Ucase(Mid(pTextElement . Text, 1, 5)) = " INFO: " Then
Dim InfoString
Dim NameString
Dim DateString
Dim FileString
NameString = " Name: " & UserName
DateString = " Date: " & Date
FileString = " File: " & GetMXDName
InfoString = NameString & DateString & FileString
pTextElement = InfoString
End If

or . . .

If Ucase(Mid(pTextElement . Text, 1, 5)) = " INFO: " Then
Dim InfoString
Dim NameString
Dim DateString
Dim FileString
NameString = " Name: " & UserName
DateString = " Date: " & Date
FileString = " File: " & GetMXDName
InfoString = NameString
InfoString = InfoString & DateString
InfoString = InfoString & FileString
pTextElement . text = InfoString
End If

Now it's just getting ridiculous, if it's failing then it's possibly because we can't speak VB, make it C/C++ any day and I'd be able to help . 		Kame (312)
179871 2003-10-07 02:14:00 Has anyone considered that the text element may be restricted to displaying only one of text?? antmannz (28)
179872 2003-10-07 02:41:00 The variable that we tried was of type variant, not string so it shouldnt matter but thanks for the idea .

Anyway sorry Mike, that is all that I can think of . You could try posting to a more programming focused group to see if they can come up with the answer .

179873 2003-10-09 07:13:00 Thanks for the help guys :)

It didn't work, and I'm guessing its a limitation of the program rather than the vb, as I think most of what we tried should work, but the software didn't seem to let it.

I'll just have to live with what I've got for a while I guess :)

179874 2003-10-09 23:59:00 Have you ever thought of asking ArcMap or the people who create the scripts for ArcMap whether it's possible?

I have no idea what ArcMap is... any chance of finding a place to download a trial version of it, to give it a go? 		Kame (312)

Could give that a try :)

I have no idea whether there's a trial version available, but have a look around at ESRI to see if you can find one.
