Using the at sign (@) to denote the different sections of the string within a message is supposed to make everything to the right of the first at symbol bold, then middle section the message and then the last line a separate line, but this does not work in my Access 2000. I have Access 97 also installed and the messages are displaying correctly so I don't now why they don't show correctly in Access 2000. The complete message is displayd including the at symbols. Any ideas on what is causings this would be great.

I can't uninstall Access 97 it is required, and I've install Access 2000 but still the same problem

Kevin;

Found this at Microsoft.com
(242889) - In Microsoft Access 2000, the at sign (@) does not provide
special formatting when you use it with the MsgBox function.
