    Format part of field


    I have a date/time field that stores the date and time. I would like the time portion of the field to display a little smaller and maybe a different color on the form. Is it possible to format half of the same text box programatically?

    Very much doubt it. Try Google search.

    For visual purposes you could make two fields.
    MyDate Format Date() Short Date
    MyTime Format Time() Medium Time
    Lay them side by side without borders to get the desired affect.
    Make the time field smaller with a different color.
