Hi All

I have a problem with some coding I have entered into a report I have created.

My report comprises of 3 fields - MyDate, MyDay and Overtime.

I want the report to show Saturdays in red, therefore I have entered the following code into the on format part of my detail part of my report: -

If Me.MyDay = 7 Then
Me.MyDay.FontBold = True
Me.MyDay.ForeColor = vbRed
Else
Me.MyDay.FontBold = False
Me.MyDay.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If

When I run the report everything is displayed in black.

What am I doing wrong?

I'd appreciate anybody's help on this.

Try placing you code in the report's OnFormat event.

That's the onFormat event of the Detail Section.

Thanks for you reply, however this is where I have enter my code which is why I don't understand why it is not working.

Any ideas?

What is MyDay displaying, 7 or Saturday?

Run thrtough your code with the Debugger on. I;m often surprised that my code isn't doing what I think it's doing.

MyDay is displaying Sat as its format is ddd.

I have tried changing 7 to "Sat" in my code but it still doesn't like it.

Any ideas?

If (WeekDay(Me.MyDate) = 7) Then
Me.MyDay.FontBold = True
Me.MyDay.ForeColor = vbRed
Else
Me.MyDay.FontBold = False
Me.MyDay.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If

Thanks that's worked a treat.
