Bold 1 or many fields in a report

[johnb]

Hi

I have a Access 2002 form with 50+ controls. On the form there is a command
button to print a report which is based on the form. Where changes to data
on the form have been made how do I bold the changes on the report?

TIA

That is going to be tricky. Is it a single record form, a datasheet, or a
continuous form?

Hi Klatuu
Its a Form with a Subform and data from both is printed

The more I think about this, the more I realize it is not totally impossible,
but would really degrade performance in both the form and the report. It
would involve a table that would look like the report's record source which
you would have to update with each field change in the form. Then you would
have to include this table in your report's record source and for each
control on the report, use a function to compare the values of the two fields
involved and set the font weight at that time.

Hi Dave

Er.. Looks like more trouble than its worth! I've thought of a solution. Use
a version flag for each print off. Or just print date and time on each print.

Thanks for the input
