How in a TextBox , lines of text can be displayed, each with different colors ?
To the best of my knowledge, this cannot be done with the traditional Text Box Control supplied by Access. You can either Insert an ActiveX Control that provides this functionality, or create an OLE Object Field, say for a Word Document, where this can easily be accomplished.

I am not sure how to do either of these things.
Can you help me doing it...
Which one is easier and most common to do these kind of things?

Hello puppydogbuddy! I think the Article you are referring to describes how to change the Foreground and Background colors of selected Controls via Conditional Formatting. Th OP's request is how to change the font colors on each line of text within a Text Box - a much different scenario. If I misinterpreted the request, I do apologize.

- Is this a single, Unbound Text Box that we are talking about? I am talking about something for a 1-time-display-purpose-only item as in instructural text.
- If this Text Box is bound to a Field, are we talking a large number of Records in the Table?

Hi ADezii,
I believe you have correctly interpreted what the OP said that he wants. My only thought here was does he really want a textbox with different colors on different lines (internally) or did he mean that he wants the textbox that has the focus to have a different color.

Very good point, we'll just have to let the OP decide.
