"layout view is unavailable for this report."   

I've successfully updated my Access 2 database to Access 2007.  After 
acknowledging in response to a dialogue box that an (unidentifiable--by me, 
at least) existed, I accepted the error and the table, report and form 
opened for use.

I've noted before here that I wished to format a limited number of records 
in bold.  Following the directions in the help file for "conditional 
formatting" I immediately came to the first step : "open in layout view."  I 
get this message with each of my database reports: "Layout view is 
unavailable for this report."

Am I going to remain blocked in my attempt to bold just certain records in 
my reports?

Re: "layout view is unavailable for this report."   

How did you get this error message?

You can disable Layout View for an individual report by setting its Allow 
Layout View property to No.

You can disable Layout View for all the reports in your database by checking 
the box under:
    Office Button | Access Options | Current Database | Enable Layout View

When you do this, Layout View will not be available via the menus, so you 
are not getting the message from there. Similarly, using:
    DoCmd.OpenReport "Report1", acViewLayout
will open the report in design view, so you are not getting the error 
message from there. So, I don't follow what context is giving you this 
message.

In any case, you don't need layout view to use Conditional Formatting. 
Opening the report in design view, works just fine.
