>From what I can tell, the conditional formatting only
works with the field of the record detail that it is
applied to.  I need it to be applied to the entire
record detail line.  I am using MS Access 2000.

The checkboxes themselves won't be visible on the
report.  The detail section has (visible) Date, Time,
Call Type, Dialed Number, Extension, and Duration. 
Based upon the checkboxes (Local Number, Excessive
Length, Repetative Call, etc), I want it to color the
entire detail line.
