Unable to conditionally format controls in Report

[Chuck59]

This seems a simple question: I want to conditionally change the fontweight to "Bold"(700) on a control ([txtNick]) when another boolean control ([NickError]) is true, in the detail section of my report. [txtNick] is a calculated string. Numerous variations of the reference to [txtNick] do not bring up ANY formatting property. This is Access 2000, and I am used to Access97. What am I doing wrong?

In the OnFormat event of the section containing txtNick place this code:

If NickError = True Then
txtNick.FontWeight = 700 'Make it bold
Else
txtNick.FontWeight = 400 'Make it normal
End If Joe Miller
