Formatting a string from the code

I have a textbox that displays the amout of free disk space in megabytes.
I'm working on converting it to gigabytes and if it's less that one gig, I
want to display the string "Critical" bold and in red. Can this be done?
Thanks.This can certainly be done. Where do you want to display the text
'Critical'? If you have another textbox you would use an expression to
determine the value of that checkbox. for example if you were getting the
value from a dataset you would have a similar code to the following in the
expression editor:
=IIf(Fields!Number_Of_Megs < 1024,"","Critical")
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions on changing the font's color to red
if it's critical and making it bold?
--Chad|||You will have to do this from the report designer. You can select the
textbox that the text is in and go to the textbox properties. (right click
and properties) From here you can select the format for this text box... A
nice feature is using the Expression Editor to select the font color. This
will allow you to use an IIF() statement to have the font red or black. You
can allow do this with the font weight.
Example of formatting font color in expression editor: (you would put this
in the format expression for the font-color in the designer)
=IIf(Fields!Number_Of_Megs < 1024,"black","red")

Wow! I thought that the "IIf(" was a typo. That functionality can be very
useful. Thank you so much for explaining that to me.
