To replicate the form we currently use in ACCESS I am trying to find a way to
use the "small caps" version of a font. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I don't know, but you can reference the data via =ucase(), then change
the size. For example, I've got an Address field in my table, so the
Data Source for the form box is =ucase(Address) rather than Address.

There is no "option" to declare using small caps instead of lower case. You
will have to use a Rich Text Box and change the size of the font, which can
be problematical, or find a font that has small caps instead of lower case.

If you have a graphics library CD package from one of the major
manufacturers, you'll probably find such fonts on one of the CDs (as I
recall, there are well over a thousand fonts each with graphics libraries I
got from Corel and Micrografix). And, many of the "computer superstores"
will have inexpensive collections of fonts on CD. Finally, if you Google a
bit, you'll find a lot of free fonts on the Internet, but you may save time
(and therefore money) by driving to the store and buying a CD!
