Can we set two different text parametars in one textbox?

[Guest]

To be clearer..
From fields "Name" and "gender" I have to make text box in Raport where will
be writen for example "Pauline, female" where "Pauline," must be in Times New
Roman, bold, italic, 15 points and "female" in Times New Roman, bold, 12
points... Is there easy solution for such request?
Thanks for any help...

No, the text box in Access is not capable of formatting part of the text
differently than another part in the same text box. Access 2007 will provide
that functionality, but no current version does.

If this is an important requirement, you could go to:
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm
download the rich text control from Stephen Lebans, and assign the right
rich text tags. Not sure I would call it an "easy solution" though.

BTW, you are going to run into trouble with a field named Name. When you use
that on your report, Access is likely to think you are referring to the Name
of the report instead of the contents of the control named Name.
