Hey Dan, >From Access help: FontBold Property You can use the FontBold property to specify whether a font appears in a bold style in the following situations: When displaying or printing controls on forms and reports. When using the Print method on a report. It is my understanding (which may be wrong) that the print event should be used to change the way an existing item looks (bold, background, etc.) and that format should be used when an item may or may not print (visibility, etc.) and changing an item could cause the current item to possibly be moved to the next page or something like that.

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?
