    Changing Fonts on the fly in Forms

    I am wondering if when a user is entering information into my form if there is a way for them to change the font or make it bold etc. It is grayed out currently.

    Thanks

    If you are wanting a particular field to be bold for a particular record the only way I can think to do that would be to store a 'bold' yes/no field, changing a text box or label to bold will make *everything* bold.

    The other option is to use a rich text formatted text box, then formatting is possible within the field.

    If you're talking about changing the font on part of a Field, then using rich text formatted text, as rpeare suggested, is the only way. But of concern, to me, is your statement

    What, exactly, do you mean by 'grayed out?' This normally means that a Control is Disabled, and no data can be entered!
