re your earlier post about:

Eval("Msgbox('This is bold.@@This is not bold.',64,'I''m Bold')")

Can you point me to a reference on this -- or, if not, can you explain
the syntax here (e.g., the "@@") ?
 
Press Ctrl-G while in your database, then paste the following line in the
debug/immediate window:

?Eval("Msgbox('This is bold.@@This is not bold.',64,'I''m Bold')")

Press enter. A message box will appear.

Note that the text preceding @@ is bold, while the text following @@ is not
bold. The text following @@ is also preceded by 2 carriage returns. This
"feature" is undocumented and only works if you use Msgbox within Eval. Use
in the same manner you would use Msgbox...just insert @@ after the part you
want to be bold.
 
This is a hold over from Access 97. Can't remember much
more about it than that and the only way to make it work
in 2000 or XP is to use the Eval
