Font in Cells

[Guest]

Is there a way to change the font in a single cell of a .mdb file
My file is just a Master List in a Database format.(on screen, it looks
like and Excel spreadsheet). I would like to change one field (cell) to a
different color to "watch" for a change to be added to that line of
information.

If you are going to give me an answer about "controls" please explain in
detail, as I have never used them before and past answers were too vague for
me to implement.

As I do not use datasheet view for any kind of production work, even my own
personal data, I can't address how you'd do what you want, if you can.

For a form, which in continuous forms view can look much like a datasheet,
you can use Conditional Formatting to change the color based on various
conditions. As I recall, there's pretty good Help on that subject, once you
find it.

Oh, just for the record "Cells" is a spreadsheet term.

Access keeps data in Tables, and individual items are stored in Fields...
Records are groups of Fields within a Table. Access Tables or Query results
can be displayed in "Datasheet view" which looks like a spreadsheet, but
that gives you less control than displaying in a Form.
