Want to change colors of text items in reports

I will try sending this again.

Your requirement can be met using Conditional Formatting on the control
Priority Code with your report in design mode.

Select the Control Priority Code
Select Conditional Formatting
In the first box on the format menu set to

Field Value is

In the next box, select Equal to from the selction

Type 1 in the next box across to the right (Three Boxes to fill in)
Now select the back colour for the control, the text colour (red) and text
style from the selections available.

Now press the add button and repeat the above steps but enter the value 2 in
the rightmost box and set for the second colour

Press the add button for the third option and set the colour/font styles for
the third condition.

This is by far the easiest way for up to three options

I hope this helps?????

Kinedest regards
