different coloured text, is it possible?

[danwand]

Hi,

Just wondering if it was possible to have text in either a label caption or a text box that has certain words in different colors.

So for example if i have a string variable in VBAdim strHelp as string) that has a value set to "you MUST enter a date"
(strHelp = "you MUST enter a date") which is set as the label caption or text box box value
(me.txtHelp = strHelp)

is it possible to have the word 'MUST' in red with the rest of the text in black?

Any help would be appreciated.

Within the same label, I would say no. However; you could setup two lables, one with the whole sentance and the other with just MUST. Then you could color that one Red and place it on top of the other lable, just over the word MUST.

Thanks for the reply Hneal,
The example i gave was a generalisation and wouldn't just apply to that one sentance with the word 'must' but could be any sentance with any number of different coloured text.
Thanks again
