Hi Everyone I am using crystal 10 to develop reports.

I have a situation that I am not sure how to resolve, hence my post.

I have two date fields that are of type string, which I need to compare.
If they are the same "date" then format them as bold.

The formula I have put on {first_tx} but does not work is below.

IF {first_tx} = {last_tx} then
{first_tx} CRBold
{last_tx} CRBold

I get the error the remaining text does not appear to be part of the text.

Thanks in advance

you have to do the condition on each field
IF {first_tx} = {last_tx} then CRBold else crregular

Hhhhmmm ...

I tried putting this formula on {first_tx} but got the remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula.

IF {first_tx} = {last_tx} then
{first_tx} CRBold

you do not state which item is being bolded.
by inserting the conditional formula in the properties of the field it is already identified as the field to be bolded.
 
right click on first_tx
select format field
font tab
style formula (x-2)
add your conditional formula here
IF {table.first_tx} = {table.last_tx} then CRBold else crregular
 
repeat after selecting the last_tx field
