Making some of a text box bold...

[funkybuddha]

Hi,
I have a function that concatenates a text box with various information dependent on what is retrieved from the DB. I want to be able to make the section headers ie:- "New Parts Required :" bold and then the list that follows plain text.
Because this is in one text box the .FontBold = True function doesn't seem to be the solution. Any hints, tips etc would be greatly appreciated.

PS: - Happy New Year

If you want some text formatting you may consider a RichText control.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Is RichText control part of Access 2000 or 2003 or do I need to add this. Have never come across this before. How would I add a RichText control.

Sorry if this seems a dumb question. Have done a bit of checking up on this and seems that I need to add dll's/ocx's etc...

RichTextBox is not part of Access, It is an Activex. If it is installed in your PC then
INSERT > ACTIVEX CONTROL > ......
