Special field behavior for visual impairment

[Ricter]

Hello all,
What would be a simple way to popup a larger version of a text box, on entry
to the original, so that the user would enter that field's value with a
larger font size, close the larger version when the user presses 'Enter', and
resume the main form's tab sequence? It is not desireable that I do this for
every field...

The following example will open the built-in zoom box, which has a button
the user can click to select a font size. (Users can also do this manually
by pressing Shift+F2). I'm not aware of a way to set the font
programmatically, unfortunately. For that, you might have to create an
unbound form to use as a custom dialog box.

Several ways.
1) While in the text control, press Shift + F2.
When the Zoom box appears for the first time, depending upon your
Version of Access, you can set the font size which will then be used
for that full session.
or...
2) You can code the Enter event of those controls you wish to Zoom in
on to opened in Zoom:
