Bold Field by Cursor Position

[Rawb]

What I want to do is to bold the contents of a single field in a Continuous Form when I enter another field (in the same Record) for editing. Is there a way to do this for the current Record only?

I've tried using the .FontWeight Property, but that changes all the Records in the Form, not just the current one.

.accdb has Rich Text capability.

the best I can offer.

Can you change the format of a (Rich Text) Field in a Continuous Form without it changing the format of all the other Records' Fields?

And, if so, does that capability work if you back-port it to an MDB or do you lose Rich-text capability?

Not that it really matters. We only have Access 2000 here at work and I doubt the brass would be willing to spend the moolah to upgrade :/

one converts both BE & FE to .accdb; and then the rich text is held in the table's data set itself. So yes, it would be per record and not at the form level so would work for your continuous form situation.

had exact same scenario as you; and just explained to mgmt that one is 'feature bound'....they were on the verge of needing to upgrade overall anyway so in the end they went up to 07. Works good - they are into Red font for critical items....

not sure if it is just memo field types or not - double check that point before you commit....my scenario was of a memo field type but am presuming is valid in text field types too but worthy of a double check on that point.

Ah. So the Rich Text is actually stored as Table Data and not in the Form. . .

Well, I'll look into it. If it can do that with numeric fields I might go ahead and make the proposal. . .

Thanks!
