Hi all

are there available in any versions of Access features that allow a user to
alter part of the text in a note field with some of the features of Word ie.
Bold underline font colour etc?. Poeple love to mess with text!!

Alternatively is it possible to change the font for all text boxes on a form
without specifying each of them individually?

Thanks

The text box that comes with Access cannot do that, but see:

Have you used these utilities? I tried using the FMS product about 2
years ago and found it to be quite unstable and eventually disasterous.
Are these reliable?

I have used Stephen's rich text box, but not extensively.
