The thing to do is use separate text boxes. Access has feature that allows
you to overcome the problem with the extra blank spaces in reports. It is
called the "CanShrink" property. If there is no data for a field, the text
box will shrink to zero height.

Try creating a Label report with the Label Wizard and then take a look at
the properties of the fields.

Hi.

I am really trying...but I cannot get a carriage return in
Expression Builder. I got the reply from "SA"
on this subject and he/she said
the following:

Use either vbcrlf or Chr(10) & Chr(13)

I tried, but I must not know the proper way to insert this
in Expression Builder.

What I want to do is have an Access report give me a
phone/address directory. I have type in the following:

=[First Name] & " " & [Last Name] & [Address] & [City]
& ", " & [State] & " " [Zip] & [Phone] & [email]

I get all of the information that I want to appear on the
report. But it is all on one line. Now, I could do
separate text boxes, but then I would have all of these
blank lines for those who do not have an email address or
a phone number, or even an address.

So, what is the simple solution (or is there a simple one)
to create a carriage return in Expression Builder?

Thanks again and have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!

Joe
