Dear friends,
 
How can I conditionally change the font size  programatically (by using a formula) based on a vatiable.
 
Thanks in advance,

For a text field you cannot do that. Yu can create multiple text fields with different font sizes  that overlay each other and then conditionally suppress them.
For most other field types you right click the field and select format field.
click on the Font tab.
Click on the formula button next to size and put your conditional formula there as "if condition then fontsize# else fontsize#"
Example: if {tbl.color}="red" then 10 else 8

DBlank, what I do for the text field, is since it is text, I create a formula, then I can programmatically alter the field.  Just thought I would offer the suggestion, instead of having multiple box with multiple suppressions.
 
Never occurred to me to use multiple text fields....hmm...
