David, The Text Box on the Report has a format of "Currency". The field in the VBA code is defined as "Currency". The field on the report does not come from a table or query, but is filled in via VBA code. Just for fun, I set up a small table and query in the application to experiment with Conditional Formatting. Things work fine for these fields from the query. I am still puzzled.

Recently, I stumbled upon something that seems strange. I have an Access 2007 report with an amount field. If the amount is negative, I simply want to change the font color to red. I set up a single "Conditional Formatting" condition that says "Field Value Is" "Less than" 0. The Preview shows the field in red. However, when I view the report, the field is shown in black and not in red. I must be missing something. This seems so simple. It appears that Access is not detecting that the fields is negative.
