We have a report that is very basic. In three columns, it just repeats the fields in the source table. So each record takes up at least 7 lines to print, since there are 7 fields. The user is wanting to keep from printing fields that have no data in them. I know that I can set the property for the text box on the report to “Can Shrink” and it will skip over the field itself, but the label prints anyway. Is there an easy way to leave off the label if the text box shrinks?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerOctober 14, 2002 at 3:42 pm #624077You can write code for the OnFormat event of the detail section of the report. It could look like this:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
[lblField1].Visible = Not IsNull([txtField1])
[lblField2].Visible = Not IsNull([txtField2])
End SubReplace txtField1 by the name of a textbox, and lblField1 by the name of the attached label, etc. You must have a line for each of the text boxes that may contain null values. Don’t forget to set the CanShrink property of the detail section to Yes too.

<>I presume that you meant the labels to be invisible, in which case you could do the following in the OnFormat event of the Detail section of your report.
If IsNull(Field1) and IsNull(Field2) and IsNull(Field3) then
Field1Label.Visible = False
Field2Label.Visible = False
Field3Label.Visible = False
Else
Field1Label.Visible = True
Field2Label.Visible = True
Field3Label.Visible = True
EndifHTH

AskWoody LoungerOctober 15, 2002 at 8:42 pm #624384In my previous post I mantioned to set the Visible property of the Label to True or False.
In fact you can set the Control’s visible property (not the Label’s property) to True or False, this will also set the Label’s Visible property to True or False accordingly.
Sorry for any confusion.
