Conditional Formatting

[MarkDraa]

Is there a way to apply conditional formatting to a field on a report? I've got a date that I'd like to be bold if it is within a certain number of days. I seem to remember there might have been a convaluted workaround, but that might have only been with letters.

I've thought of creating two computational fields, one that would be blank when the other is not, then placing them on top of one another in the report. One would be bold and the other normal. Before I take this path, I thought I'd check for a more clever solution!

I'm using v9.1.98 with WinXP-Pro.

Thanks!

Superimposing two conditional calc fields is the only way on a report view. Format the "normal" one in the usual way and make everything transparent in the "bold" one except the data font.
