I didn't download your file but here is one approach I use a lot.

1. global variable g_strZoomValue
2. form designed for the sole purpose of holding a textbox value...and on form load event, textbox value = g_strZoomValue. Make the font larger.
3. a little Zoom icon next to textboxes for people hard of sight accessibility purposes, which makes value of g_strZoomValue equal to textbox value
4. open the form mentioned in #2

Simplistic approach, takes about 5 minutes to set up.

Private Sub K_Stock_Y_Click()

    Me.Discussion.SetFocus

    RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

End Sub

Set the focus to the desired control and run RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

That command gives the same text in another bigger box, but doesn't actually zoom larger for accessibility purposes.

I should have put my glasses on before reading the requirements

In the zoombox there is a button to adjust the font on the lower right side. You used to be able to set it with code but I think that may have been depricated.

If you open the zoombox and increase the font, that font setting will persist throughout your session so you only have to do it once.

I'll have to research if the vba way is still valid.

I have to admit, in that case, it's a little more valuable than I thought. I've usually created a custom method but it's good to know the zoom method with the increased font persists throughout the session--very handy. Although I did just try it and as soon as I clicked "Font" (on the zoomed box), my database crashed and spontaneously opened another one that I'd had open yesterday. But that's probably some bad voodoo on my end!
