Hi,
I've created a form that has a 3 fields.
2 textboxes (username & password)
1 TextArea (notes)
I have linked this to an access DB.
This is working well, the user enters thier Username & password, fills
in the notes field and the notes are then updated, as follows:
username - notes..notes..notes..notes..notes..
ie: Bob D - This a sample note.
This displays in the textarea fine.
Is there anyway to write the Username in Bold ?
Either
Using <b>username</b> and entering it into the DB, but how do I
display the username bold in the textarea.
Or Any other ideas ??
Thanks

No. No markup is allowed inside a textarea, which is only designed to
contain plain text.

First, don't top-post, because then when we get this far, when I place my
responses directly after the remarks from you to which they relate, the
entire message comes completely out of order and no one can follow it.
Second, there's nothing you can do if you want the data to be displayed in a
text area and you want it to be variably styled. You can either display
plain text inside a text area in a uniform style, or you can display fully
styled text but not in a text area.
Why do you want it in a text area?

You could use plain-text *bold*. It's generally understood as emphasis.

Alternatively, change the storage of the notes field to be a notes
table, with username and note as fields within that. Then display them
in some other sensible way - i.e. don't display already-entered notes
inside the textarea.
You could do this without needing to change the storage format if you
did some text processing of the current notes content.
