    Changing the font to bold


    On a form, I'd like it so as a user is entering data, when need be, I'd like for them to be able to make the text BOLD, is this possible?

    Only works on unbound text boxes. If bound, it needs to be a memo field on the table.

    In form Design mode, Click on field, go to Conditional Formatting button on top in Design section, in Condition1 select "Field has Focus" and click the Bold button. It should make the letter bold as they type but will save it as regular after that.
