Is it possible to underline one word in a memo field, instead of the

Thanks,

Not in a standard TextBox no. You would have to use a rich text
ActiveX control.

Rick,
Thanks for the tip but I had a problem. I tried to add a MS Rich
Textbox Control 6.0(SP6) and I got an err. message that said Access
does not support this ActiveX control. Any thoughts?

I recommend you get the free rich text control that Stephen Lebans created
and try that.

BUT...realize that to display Rich Text in a Rich Text control you will have
to store Rich Text tags inside your data. For example take the text...

Here is some sample text.

To store that so a Rich Text control shows the word "sample" as underlined
you would have to store something like...

Here is some \ul sample \ulnone text.

This basically means your data can now ONLY be displayed properly in a Rich
Text control. It's not that a standard control will just lose the
formatting. This obviously has implications when joining or using criteria
on the data as well. Putting up with all of that just to get some words
underlined seems like a bad idea to me.
