Underlining Data in a Text Box

I am trying to create a form that allows underlining for specific characters
when the users wants to enter them underlined. I'm not sure how to do this.
I have a Text Box over a Memo field. When I add the Formatting toolbar to
the form, and the user clicks on underlining, all the characters in the
control become underlined. What I need is a way for the user to underline
only one character at a time when needed.

I am using Access 2000, and am familiar with VBA if needed.

Any help would be appreciated

I believe that the only way would be to use an RTF control, and to put the
appropriate RTF control characters into the text.

Stephen Lebans has a free RTF control available at
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm. I believe there's sample code with it
that should help you accomplish what you're trying to do.

Larry:

I am not able to find anything using your reference either as a web site or
as an item in the knowledge database. What should I do with this reference?
