Default Setting text in bold

Hi

On a form I concatenate a Title, Forename and Surname field thus:
name:Trim([title]&" "&[forename]&" "&[surname])
I would like the surname to appear in bold - is this possible please?


Also I have another single field which has a forname and surname in the same
field. Is it possible to make that surname into bold please?

Thanks

Alex

I think you would need to make them separate textboxes on the form.
As far as I know the textbox itself can be set to bold in it's
entirety but not just pieces of it.

Hi, and thanks for your post.

Surely the Text Format property will apply to the whole field wont it? I
concatenate the three fields into one using a SQL query and in the resulting
list I would like to just have the surname element in bold.

Thanks

Alex
