    Colour formatting

    Is it possible to have a report (based on a query) to show different colours for different values? For example I have a report that shows different reasons. I would like any line with the value "System Down" to be in Bold Red. Not just the word System Down, but the whole line. Thanks.

    Combo box isn't working
