I have a text box within a report that I would like to apply a bold formatting if it matches a record within another table (tblConditionalFormattingBold), Can anyone advise if this is possible?
Essentially, in your Condition Expression, you would use the DLookup() function to compare the current record to another table. Here's a link explaining how to use DLookup().

I am struggling with the syntax, my main table is tbltools and the field is Tool Type and the table I want to field matches against is tblConditionalFormattingBold and field Bold

Thanks for your time, the problem I have is there are over 80 records in my tblConditionalFormattingBold and they could all be in the report so I need to check against all of these not just one and format bold all the matches. Is this possible?
concatenate all your "conditions" into a string. use recordset to do this.
use Instr() function to test if your field in report can be found inside the string.
