Re: Formatting a text field in report

My first question is why you are storing a date as a Text data type
and not a Date/Time data type. Or is this a concatenated string?

Perhaps if you told us more about what you are trying to do exactly we
might be able to help.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Hi All,

Is there a way to change the formatting in a report text field based
on the
field meeting certain criteria? For example, if my text field has
the date
format of "mm" & "/" & "dd" & "/" & "yyyy", then apply a bold
format. I
looked into the conditional formatting but it didn't work for me.
Maybe I am
setting it up incorrectly. If anyone knows how to do this (if it can
be done)
please let me know.

Thanks,
LaurenM
