Using the (@) in a message box text. Doesn't work. :-(

Kevin;

Found this at Microsoft.com
(242889) - In Microsoft Access 2000, the at sign (@) does not provide
special formatting when you use it with the MsgBox function.

Using the at sign (@) to denote the different sections of the string
within a message is supposed to make everything to the right of the first at
symbol bold, then middle section the message and then the last line a
separate line, but this does not work in my Access 2000. I have Access 97
also installed and the messages are displaying correctly so I don't now why
they don't show correctly in Access 2000. The complete message is displayd
including the at symbols. Any ideas on what is causings this would be great.

I can't uninstall Access 97 it is required, and I've install Access 2000
but still the same problem.

TIA
