    Re: text box formating

    To use scroll bars with a text box
    Set Properties
    Multiline > true
    Scroll bars > Vertical
    or
    Multiline > False
    Scroll bars > Horizontal

    The scroll bars only appear when the text reaches a limit governed by the size of the text used and the size of the box itself.

    You can't add formatting (bold, colour etc) to parts of your text, for that you need a RichTextBox, a VB control not available in VBA that I am aware of, I think it must be somewhere in 2003, but this is microsofts' evaluation of it

    Not very encouraging!...

    Hope this helps
