[AccessD] Control reference question.

Bobby,

I believe that the Print event is too late in the sequence of report events.
Try using the section's Format event or the report's Activate event.

You could also try using Conditional Formatting!

Hi all,

I have a report with several sub reports on it.  I had to modify a sub
report yesterday so that if a certain condition was met, I needed to make
the text in 2 fields bold.  The detail print event is where I was changing
it at.  In a non sub report, I just use the fontbold property.  Well, in the
case of the sub report, I could not set this value (or any normal value)
programmatically.  Intellisense would not show me what I wanted.  I ended up
using reports!MainReport!Subreport!control to set the fontbold property.

My question is, is that the proper way to handle this?  Or is there
something that I am not seeing?

Thanks,
Bobby
