Thanks Al...yes, I have done that in the past and somewhat forgot about it.

>>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.

>>From their initial email, I am guessing (have not heard back) that they want to change the font *within* the memo field output - which I am also guessing is not do-able.

>>Can anyone confirm this? I think they would have to have the data exported to another format that can be formatted.
