Some bolding is available in Access 97.
There may be an example in Help.
Italics and color... No!

In Access 2000 and newer, No.
Create an unbound form and use that as the message box.
Open it in acDialog and your computer will stop processing until you
close (or hide) the form.

You have to make your own custom message box.

Actually, that's not 100% true, Fred. You can use the same MsgBox as in
Access 97 in newer versions. Check what MichKa has at

In any case, though, a custom message box is doubtlessly the way to go.
