First, have you been able to access and link data from the different databases? It's not clear if you've done this or are asking for help. You might have to use subreports at a detail level, very inefficient but 8.5 is limited compared to later versions.

If you have got this, then link the corresponding records. Use a 'left outer' if one of them might be missing.

For highlighting, click a field and select Format Field. You can then set a test using the formula icon (x+2 and a pencil). One test is ISNULL, for a missing value or a field on a record that is not there.
