Formating part of a text box display as bold

[Moss100]

Hello all,

Sometimes the easiest tasks are the most frustrating:

I have a textbox, [textdisplay] on a form whos control source displays several other textboxes:

the control source is : =[text1]&" "&[text2]&" "&[text3]

I would like the value of only [text2] to appear as bold - please could someone point me in the right direction.

I would rather do it using the data line in the control source.

Many thanks

Mark

You can't do this in a regular text box. You might be able to use a rich text control which depends on your version of Access. I have never used these.

Like said a rich text box will work.

I did not try it, but I think it is

= [text1] & " <div><strong>" & [text2] & "</strong></div>" & [text3]

Sorry the div is a carriage return. This works
Text Format: Rich Text

= [text1] & " <strong>" & [text2] & " </strong>" & [text3]
