Try this:
IF vIsBold = 1 THEN
   PROPERTY report1 font_BOLD "TRUE"
  else   PROPERTY report1 font_BOLD "FALSE"
ENDIF
Just tested; works here.

Figures, after I send the below I figured one thing out.  I need to do the 
conditional formatting for each row, which makes sense.
Unfortunately "BOLD" still doesn't work.  The only thing I can get to work is 
Font_Color
So this code works, the font goes from red to black for each row, so in theory 
the code works.  Just can't make it "bold" rather than red
IF vIsBold = 1 THEN
  -- PROPERTY report1 BOLD "TRUE"
  --  PROPERTY report1 underline "TRUE"
  PROPERTY report1 font_color "red"
ELSE  PROPERTY report1 font_color "black"ENDIF


Any clues?
Karen

Wow, I'm pretty sure I've done this before, but I can't find notes and I cannot 
make it work.
I have a table with a field called IsBold which indicates if certain columns in 
my detail row should be printed in bold  (value of either 1 / 0 )I will put the 
same ComponentID on several fields but for now I just put "Report1" as the 
CompID on the 1st field.
I have a report variable:   vIsBold =  IsBold
So my Before Generate EEP for detail band has this:


IF vIsBold = 1 THEN
  PROPERTY report1 BOLD "TRUE"
  --  PROPERTY report1 underline "TRUE"
  --  PROPERTY report1 font_color "red"
ENDIF




If I put trace on, I see that it properly identifies the 5 rows where vIsBold = 
1.  But several problems:
1.  Bold and Underline do not work at all.  The only thing I could get to work 
is font_color (but problem #2).  However, I really need the Bold to work.  I 
tried with font Tahoma (my preference) and Arial as the font
2.  Font_Color worked, but as soon as it ran into a row with vIsBold = 1, then 
every row after that got the Red.  It wasn't conditional by row.

Can we not do row-by-row conditional formatting?   (And is my syntax for "bold" 
incorrect?)
