Is it possible to have a memo field accept formatting

I have a form that includes a memo field.
I would like to be able to allow the user to format text
in the field as they wish. Currently, if they try to do
anything, such as bold a word, the entire field becomes
bolded. If they want to change the color of text, the
entire field changes.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to give
the user better control?

TIA

You need a Rich Text Box control for this. Access doesn't come with
one, but Stephen Lebans has developed one that is well spoken of. It's
free on his web site at www.lebans.com -- I think it's called RTF2, but
I don't remember the exact page URL on the site.
