You can't use @ SAY, although you can use ??? to sent printer escape codes directly from a running REPORT FORM or LABEL command.

However this is probably not the best way to do what you want.

Any way you can do it in VFP 9 instead, where it would be a lot simpler <g>?

YOu say that fields have to be in a particular style and font based on the structure of the table. How variable is it? If there are only three or four choices, you could just overlay expressions with FIELD(N) (or EVAL(FIELD(N)), I'm not clear on exactly what you are doing) with Print When expressions on the various layered versions of FIELD(N) (or EVAL(FIELD(N))).

Your On Entry code for the band could determine which logical variables to turn on and off, to ensure that the right-styled version of each field (or the right layer) was the one that showed up for each item.
