Hi Brad:

You can set up a Conditional Format rule for Field-2 with the highlighting
you want (bold, coloured text or background, whatever).  Then set the
condition to something like:

Expression is [Field-1]  > 2

If you're not familiar with conditional formatting, here is how to do it In
Access 2010 (I think it should be similar in 2007): in report design view,
select the Field-2 textbox; on the ribbon select 'Format' then 'Conditional
Formatting', then 'New Rule'.  Edit as required :)  The trick is to make
sure you put square brackets around any field name you use in the formula.

Doug
