Conditional formatting in reports

[ZABADAK]

I'm building a table which will be the input to my report.
In the first column I put headings for each row of data. I'd like some of these to print in bold and some in normal weight. Is it possible to have conditional formatting on a field in my report?

Access 2000 and later support conditional formatting in forms and reports.

Now all I need to know is how to do it. I tried putting some code in the Detail section but could not figure out how to refer to the report fields. The auto-prompter would not display the properties for me to change the FontWeight. Or is this the wrong way to do it?

Select a text box and check the Format Menu for Conditional formatting.

If you want to use code, you must reference a value of a bound control.

If you have additional questions, please come back with something more specific such as control and field names as well as what properties you want to change.
