Italics in mid-sentence?

Is it possible, maybe in a TextBox, to run a piece of code in mid-paragraph
that italicizes the following text? Like this:

="Yada yada important stuff, but " & [ItalOn] & "this is even more
important." & [ItalOff] & " Don't you agree?"

Thanks!

Not with a standard Access control no. You would have to store Rich Text
tags in your data and use a Rich Text ActiveX control to display it. In a
report you could use code to write the text instead of a TextBox and then
you would be able to do it.
 
Rick, do you think it's too early to mention that A2007 will support rich
text?

Since it was discussed in the Access BLOG last November, I would say not.
