I suspect I know the answer to this question (and it is "NO") already, but just wanted to check;

Is it possible to format the Form Caption, i.e. to change the colour of the text, partially or wholly, or bold /italic it?

arne answered. the answer to almost anything in computing is YES. but there is a question to ask:

1) why go through the trouble of doing sophisticated work like this just to accomplish such a small goal when you create your own forms and style them however you want in access to get exactly what you're asking?

Thanks, I was thinking if it were possible that it would be something along those lines

Why such paternalistic concern over how I choose to spend my time :unsure:

Hi LanaR,
I have selected the option to ignore this particular users comments, as I find them practically worthless, and often inflammatory. It's an option you might like to consider.

well geez, I didn't find it THAT worthless. you didn't even ask me how to create your own form. I was trying to save you time and effort. after all, that's how people create value in business. never mind then.
