>>Hi all,

>>Just had a customer ask if I could somehow dynamically set the font on one of their reports where a memo field is outputted. I said no initially but then remembered that there is a "Dynamics" tab on a report object that I have never used. I am guessing that this would allow changing the font of the report object at run time based upon a condition - but that it would apply to the entire report object.

Thanks Cetin. Yes, I could do an export to another format (they do that for some other reports) but I think they want an "easy way" (their words) as in not a lot of billable hours :-) Right now all the data is in one field and the only thing I can think of is for them to split the data between two fields and then use 2 controls (as Al Doman has replied also). Thanks.
