Hi,
I have a report that shows next three and six month appointments from the first visiting. The appointment dates are different from each patient so it is hard for me to know who I will see soon. Ex: First visiting three month later six month later 1/22/09 4/24/09 7/22/09 4/30/09 7/30/09 10/30/09 5/04/09 8/04/09 01/014/10 Is there a way to format the dates( from the list above) that are close to today will have red color ? In my example, the 4/24/09 should be in red. Please help Thank you in advance Chi

You should be able to use Conditional Formatting from the Format menu.

Hi Duane,
Thank you very much for your help! Would you please show me how to write a expression that will make the dates are before or after TODAY are in red since I don't see the option for TODAY under "Field Value Is"?

You can use Date() to return the current date. You can also select
"Expression Is" from the Condition drop down to reference fields other than the control you are formatting. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "Chi" wrote: Hi Duane, Thank you very much for your help!
