    Question Highilighting Within a Report


    I have 3 separate reports in access based on queries that pull out any files that are outstanding for over 30, 60, and 90 days, respectively. Now obviously when I run the outstanding over 30 day report, it includes the files that are outstanding over 60 and 90 days. I'm looking for a way to run one report and use highlighting to differentiate between the files that are outstanding for various amounts of time. For example, if I ran the outstanding over 30 day report, I would like it to differentiate (by highlighting it or making it bold) the files that are outstanding over 60 days, as these are the most urgent.

    Have you looked at conditional formatting?

    That's probably the easiest thing to do particularly if you have a field that's already calculating the days overdue.

    You can likely also do this with VBA code but I would explore conditional formatting first particularly if you have a low number of (3 or less) possible conditions.
