Using Windows 10 and Access 2010

I would like to have the 'Surname' field, in table / datasheet, to be in Bold but I can't find how to do this. I have the field set as 'text'

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Any help and/or advice would be very much welcomed. Many thanks
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Access won't allow you to just adjust a single field in a table. Potentially you could in a form or report.

Oh, what a shame!!!

Have you any suggestions as to how I could make 'Surname' field stand out more than the remaining fields, please? In the meantime, I'll make it to be in Capitals, which might help.

Many thanks

User should not interact directly with tables.?
So if you create a datasheet form for the data, you can make it bold, italic, bigger font etc.

Look at creating forms.

As suggested you can make the field standout in a Form or Report only. You or your users can interact with a form.

Hi

Thanks for suggestions re using a Form or Report instead but it suits my needs best to use the table.
I was hoping I could embolden the field in the table but obviously not possible.
By the way, iIt's only a basic flat table, ie without relational tables.

Many thanks for trying to help. I very much appreciate this :)

No problem, Trevor

I appreciate any help and advice from this forum (and any other forums) and I feel it's essential to feed back how the advice has been received. Also, basic manners, I feel, are appreciated by all ;)

Again, many thanks to you all
