I have a report with a memo field "operation" and an open form with a control "keywords".

When I preview the report I would like the matching text in the control "keywords" to be highlighted in the memo field "operation" possibly with a different colour.

I have tried CategDesc_2k.mdb from a previous thread, it highlights the keywords correctly but I get and "overflow" error, probably because there are to many words in the memo field.

any help gratefully received . .
