Hello,

I have a very general question about memo fields on forms. Is formatting only certain text in memo fields allowed? For example, I want to bold only one word in a sentence in the memo field. Whenever I highlight and bold the word, all words in the field are made bold also. I don't want that!

Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks!!!
 
I had the same problem a while ago, as far as I know it can't be done in a memo field, but you can use a rich text box control. I'm afraid I'm hazy on the detail now, but hopefully I've at least given you something to search on, the version I've got (which I downloaded free from somewhere) is RICHTX32.OCX.
