Andy, you say "when the subform is selected" the menu option is disabled.
Strictly speaking, a subform control can not be selected in form view (you
can select it in design view). In form view, either an individual control,
such as a text box, is selected, or a section, such as the detail section or
the form header or form footer section, is selected.

If a section is selected, the font size command is disabled, because a
section does not have a FontSize property. If an individual control, such as
a text box, is selected, the command should be available.

In an MDE, the change can not be saved - the FontSize property will revert
to its original value the next time the form is opened. To make the change
permanent in an MDE, you'll need to save the user's choices and reapply them
in the Open event of the form.
