BOLD A FIELD
"fishqqq[ at ]hotmail.com" <fishqqq[ at ]hotmail.com> 11/26/2008 8:39:38 PM
i have a continuous subform which lists all the phone #'s and ctc
names for each customer and i would like to know if it's possible to
have the field the user selects to become BOLD once it is double
clicked.

ie. if there are 10 customer ctc's listed the user would pick the one
he wants and double click it - then only that contact would be bolded
(thereby making it easier to read)
is this possible?
Tks
Steve

The closest you may be able to get to that on a continuous form might
be to use Conditional Formatting. Under Condition 1 select
Field Has Focus, an then select the bold font button. This isn't exactly
what you want, because it will turn bold whenever that field has
focus.

The problem with trying to code it in the DblClick event is that, since
it is a continuous form, it is going to change the font weight for that
control in every row. Plus you would also need code in another event
(i.e. LostFocus) to change the font back to normal.
