using superscript in Access - is it possible??

[darthsiddeous]

I'm presently updating a database for a client, and they would like to be able to use superscript to display the short form of Doctor as it is used in French. It's supposed to be Dr. but with the &quot;r&quot; shown as superscript. Can anyone help?? I've tried the charactermaps, but found nothing.<br>
Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Are you printing a report?<br>
If so you can put part of the information in one textbox<br>
then put the subscript in a separate textbox positioned very close to it so it appears as one.<br>

To further claify, The client wants the superscript to show up as an input field for Data entry. Is it possible to do it??

NO unfortunately you cannot mix fonts inside of one text box.<br>
But If you have Visual Basic installed on the same PC you are creating the App on.<br>
You add an ActiveX control that uses Rich Text format you can mix fonts.<br>
To add an ActiveX control to an Access form Click on the bottom of the ToolBox <br>
There is a Wrench & Hammer button. Click it and scroll down until you see “Microsoft Richtext Box Control”<br>
Which is the RICHTX32.OCX if you have VB6<br>
But you will have to make a Hot Key that the user presses before creating the subscript and then of course turn it back off.<br>
<br>
I added the Rich text box OK but the Hot Key press is going to be the tough part<br>
You need to look at the Keypress event of the control<br>

Also Look in the Visual Basic forum on this site.<br>
There is a Thread about changing the Font of a msgbox<br>
entitled:<br>
&quot;Change Fontname of a Msgbox&quot;<br>
<br>
So anything maybe possible using API calls.
