Need Help ASAP !!

Good Day Every one,

I'm designing this database using Access 2002, in my system I have generate a report which takes its information from a form, the report is about a " MEMO " in the form the user eneter the refrence number of the memo, a " To" field, a "FROM" field and a "BODY" field, in the body the user writes the body of this memo, in some cases the user needs to enter a TABLE or make some wrods BOLD , how can I do that ?


any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
CS.

post a db.

I am assuming you want to do this in the form?

Hey Andy,

yes I want this to be done in a form.

in my "Memo" form I have a "body" field, where I write the body of the memo, i.e. the context, I want to be able to insert a table or bold some words, how can this be done?


I would post a copy of my DB but it it's large !
Thanks & Regards,
CS.

create a new databse and then do:

File > Get external Data > Import

Import the form that you are talking about and the underlying table, then zip the db and post.

I would rather look at what you are trying to do to save some time.

If not post back and I will send you my email address.

Hey Andy,

here is a copy of the DB.

again, what I'm trying to do is to insert a table in the body field and to bold some words, just like what we can do in MS Word.

Thanks,
CS.

CS,

You're looking OK, so far.

But Access is not a word processer. How would your users
select which words to bold? Even if they could, Access does
not lend itself to that kind of operations.

There are some other kind of controls that might be of use
to you, but they are not native to Access.
