I'm creating atemplate Form in Access. There I have a logo. Beside the logo,
I want to put the address, city phone etc., to be static, that is, always
there. The form is used to input Invoice data and from there, comparison made
to the actual verses receivables. The Form will be the invoce and neds the
logo and address.

When I use the Text box option, I get a note that it is a Invalid control
property.

Plus, when I bold one word, all of them turn to bold.

How might I place a staic text field that I can change fonts in without
everything in that same field changing?

Thanks

There is no built-in control in Access that allows you to mix fonts.

You could try using an RTF control. Stephen Lebans has a free one at
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm

Another option would be to use a graphics program to create an image that
looks how you want, and include that as an image.

Thanks Douglas. - I tried Stephans RTF control but when trying to install, I
get an error which Ms still won't let people copy and paste, but it goes like
this ..." System\cureentcontrolset\virtualdevicedrivers.vdd.virtul device
driver format in the registry is invalid Close to terminate".

Well, at least it has pinted out a problem with Vista! :)

Build a small sub-form with the address and logo. Then, just drop that into
any form you need....

I show this idea here:
