Message box format

[gg]

According to HELP I can format a msgbox with Msgbox
"firstline@secondline@thirdline". The box should show first line as bold,
then next two lines, one under other. When I try it, all I get is what I
typed. When I try it with a macro, it works. When I convert the macro to
code (with option-macro etc.), doesn't work. Whats going on? Access 2000
with Windows 2000 professional. Thanks in advance.

This used to work in Access 97 and earlier. Access 2000 and later use a
different VBA and it doesn't work.

Probably best to avoid the technique, but if you are desperate, see:
