Concatenating fields: can I make one field bold

[Guest]

Hi All,

Is it possible to have a portion of a concatenated field appear in bold,
while the remainder is not?

Thanks.

Not really, unless you use a rich text box (not a native Access
control), and specify formatting info in the construction of the
calculated field.

If you are using Access 2007 and are able to turn on the Rich Text format
setting, yes. Concat "<B>" and "</B>" around the text you want bold. These
are the hidden hypertext tags for bold text.

Turning on Rich Text may be problematic. I have run into a few scenarios
where I was not able to do so.
