It is my job to download the data into an Access database on a daily basis
and it's the end user that needs to monitor and edit the data once it is
there. They need to verify some data that is in a long memo field and
highlight some things that are not correctly stated. So, they need to
select
some data/strings within this memo field and want the font to be in red
and
highlighted in yellow once they have identified the string that needs
attention. These corrections will then be available for future reference
and
easily identified by the distinct font format applied.

Does this help?

I would like to know if there is a way to change the font color only on
select words or areas within a memo field and save the changes? So, if
I
want to either highlight or make some text red within a memo field how
can
I
change the font format and keep it. This would only apply to the
selected
text within the memo field and the rest would remain the same default
black
color.

Is this an event procedure in VB that can be done?
