Selecting varying number of chars in a textbox

In Access 2003, I need to be able to highlight (select) a substring of the
text in a textbox for an existing record. For example, if I have a date:

3/10/2009

I might need to highlight the "3/10" part while leaving the "/2009" part
unhighlighted. This would facilitate data-entry of a month/day while leaving
the year as-is. I know this is possible, but have forgotten how. Can someone
please point me in the right direction?

Thanks a million!
