Typically if the text box can shrink and the section can shrink and there
are no controls to the left or right of the text box, the gap will shrink.

Thank you Duane for your reply.

Sorry that I misunderstood your question regarding horizontal or vertical.
Thanks for clarifying that.

The other question I did not realise that I had not answered it. Sorry
about
that.

I did try to use the "can shrink" property and set it to Yes and it still
leaves that gap (blank lines) in the report.

However, what i have done now is i have downsized the textbox control to
some extent that you can only see a tiny box. It works allright but not
that
perfect. I think I can live with that.

If you have any other ideas you think that may work for me, I am more than
happy to appreciate it.

Thank you once again for your help

By "big space", I mean horizontally big space like the example below

textbox control 1
textbox control 2
textbox control 3

if there is no data/value for textbox control 2, it shows like the
following
in the report

electronic

aerospace

There is a blank line in between electronic and aerospace in the report
as
result of textbox control 2 contains no data.

What I hope to see is as follows

electronic
aerospace

the vacant line is replaced by the data in textbox control 3.

I wonder if this is feasible in Access report.

Thank you in advance

Have you set the text box Can Shrink property to Yes?

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to hide the whole textbox control
and
does
not leave big space when it has no data/value in the Access report.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
