Ability to highlight and copy text from a label

[Guest]

I have a label on my form that is at the bottom with the following info.
-----------------------------------
To add a note, use following format
12/09/2004 Add new vendor
01/02/2005 Add new vendor address
-----------------------------------
This is directly below a memo box and I would like the ability for the user
to highlight one of the lines above and copy and paste into the memo section.
Right now, the text in the label above is not highlightable. What is the
best way to be able to give examples and the ability to copy and paste the
data.

Thanks for your time and expertise.

Instead of using a label, use a textbox to display the info. Enable the
textbox, but also lock it. That way, the user can highlight and copy, but
cannot edit/change the text.

Use an expression as the Control Source of the textbox to display the
message:

="-----------------------------------" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "To add a note,
use following format" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "12/09/2004 Add new vendor" &
Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "01/02/2005 Add new vendor address" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
& "-----------------------------------"
