multiple fonts

Is it possible to use multiple fonts within a form/table. I would like
to use Greek characters in combination with Tahoma, but Access seems to
only allow one character type within a field. Thanks.

The only way to use multiple fonts in a single control, is to use a Rich
Text textbox instead of a standard Access textbox.

Thanks, Graham. I can't seem to find the option to insert a rich text
textbox (or change the properties of a standard Access textbox to rich
text). Could you point me in the right direction?

It depends on your version of Access. With versions prior to 2003, you can
use the following procedure:
1. Open the form in design view.
2. From the Insert menu, select [ActiveX Control].
3. Select [Microsoft Rich Textbox Control...].

With Access 2003, you'll have to use 3rd party controls. There are two good
ones that I know of:

Stephen Lebans' RTF control is free, where the one from FMS costs
$US299.
