Bold display on reports

[Nicol]

I don't know if there is anyway to do this? I want some
of my records that appear on my report to be in bold or
even a different color. Is there anyway to display this
on the report? I know I can change a field to be bold
but these would be random records within the report.

Use code in the Format event of the section where the controls reside.

If (some test) = True Then
Me.SomeTextBox.FontBold = True
Else
Me.SomeTextBox.FontBold = False
End If

Which could be shortened to..

Me.SomeTextBox.FontBold = (some test)

If you can identify the records that you want to bold, you can use
Conditional Formatting. Go into Design View in the report, select a control
to be affected. Choose the Format menu item, then choose Conditional
Formatting and identify your records and changes.

Can you do this for more than one record..say if it is

for about 15 of them. Use the conditional formatting and
then put in each name that you would want to appear in
bold..do you seperate them by a colon or comma???

you can consider adding a field on your table flagging
the report if a particular record has to be printed in bold

by doing so, you can easily modify which
without changing your report layout
