Question

How do I bold a certain word in the caption of a Microsoft Access label?

If it helps, the text itself is stored in a Microsoft Access table.

An example is below. I have a Microsoft Access form with a label, in the Form_Load() event I set the caption property of this label to the value returned in a DLookup query like so:

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Me.Label0.Caption = DLookup("Field1", "Table1", "[ID] = 1")

End Sub

My text is as follows:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I want to embolden the word Lazy. Is this possible? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks

You do not mention the version of Access, for 2007 (AFAIK) and 2010, you can create a textbox and set the Text Format on the data tab to Rich Text. You can then set the Control Source to:

="The quick <b>brown</b> fox"

Change a few more properties, such as Locked and Enabled and you will have a textbox that looks and acts like a label.
