I have a field call Last_Name, First_Name in detail a
and in detail b only a line now
they want the line to be bold on every second record read

they want a line under each record
and on every second record read the want that line bolded

ex:
detail a : john doe
detail b: line
detail a : mary jane
detail b: line bolded
detail a : mark twain
detail b: line
detail a : harry james
detail B : line bolded

in the format line there no way to place this formula to bolded
If Remainder(Recordnumber,2) = 0
Then CrBold
Else CrRegular
there no X2 tab on format line
thank you

Dear PGTEK,

Lines do not have formula options in the way that text does. So an option here is:

Use a picture of a "line" that is bold and one that is not bold.

Put a suppression formula (because graphics can) of

Remainder(Recordnumber,2) = 0
on one of them and
Remainder(Recordnumber,2) <> 0

on the other.

You could also just use the underline character in a formula field &quot;_________________________&quot; as the line and then format it using your bold formula above.
