This requires writing VBScript code for the item, not just a formula. Use the CustomPropertyChange and PropertyChange events to monitor for changes in the desired properties, then set the ForegroundColor, etc. properties of the desired controls, as appropriate.

In the form.

I have added several due dates for each action item (this is a field I
created on my custom task form) and what i want is if the reminder date and
the action item due date are the same, to have the action item date appear in
red and bolded on the form.

I have created a custom task form and i would like to create an if then
statement for the following:

If the a specified field A is equal to another field B, then the contents of
A will be bolded and red.

I have no idea how to write this, any ideas?
