NonConditional Formating?

I have acc2002 continuous form that the user wants to be
able to bold a field (which could be any of the 10
available) there is no 'special' format to trigger a
conditional format, can this be achieved another way??
the field contains a date (as a text string), and the
user wants to bold/unbold it (and have it reatain its
formatting upon form closure).

(my idea was to add a character like ~ infront of the
string to trigger the format, however this seems to be
too complicated for the user)

thanks for any advice!

Brad.
 
Try adding a column to the table that the date is being
stored in. Called DateFlag

Then do condition formating of the date field based on the
dateflag field. When a user changes the font put a flag
in there dictating what they did, B, I, U. Hopefully they
don't want to do more than one type of formatting for one
particular field.

This should work.
