Figured it out. Wish I had a year ago...

BEFORE PRINT EVENT

' determine if this Sales Order is new or recently changed

dim SOTxnDate as date = cdate(TxnDate.text)

if Microsoft.VisualBasic.DATEDIFF("d", SOTxnDate, DateTime.Now) <= 2 and _

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Weekday(Datetime.Now) >= 5 then

' only use bold, red and upper Thursday and Friday.

Customer.Text = Customer.Text.ToUpper

Customer.Font = New Font(Customer.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

Customer.ForeColor = Color.Red

end if

AFTER PRINT EVENT

' set it back to normal font

Customer.Font = New Font(Customer.Font, FontStyle.Regular)

Customer.ForeColor = Color.Black

I have a Customer field in my report I want to Bold in my "before print" script event. What is the syntax to change my Customer field to bold? I can't use the build in conditional formatting because there are other things I am doing in this "before print" logic. Thanks!
