>This might be too much work for what you are doing, but, IMHO, I would replace the single memo field with a child table that contains the time stamps as well as the memo, and then place the whole thing in a grid. Then you can use the dynamic color controls to change the colors of the rows in the grid.

Yeah a little much, the time stamps are to remain in the text for their managers to see when the engineers have modified their items. So the time stamps will be intermixed with the text for the life of the item. That is why they want them to stand out in the text. Thanks for the suggestion though.
