[AccessD] Moving on to Fonts

[Stuart McLachlan]

Just did a quick test.  Using RichTextHTMLView.accdb, it becomes trivial to create 
something like 

="<div align=center><font size=4 color=""#4F81BD"">MY REPORT</font></div>
<div align=center><em>Report printed on <font color=red><strong>" & Format$(Now(),"d 
mmm yy") & "</strong></font> at <font
color=red><strong>" & Format$(Now(),"hh:nn am/pm") & "</strong></font></em></div>"

and paste it into a RT textbox in a report header.

Just  enter something like DD in the original RT box where you want the date and replace it 
with " & format$(now(),"d mmm yy") & "  ( same for time), double up any double quotes 
such as the ones around  #4F81BD, and wrap the whole thing in ="....."
