Default Pull info from another field if blank????

I have an invoice report that has customer billing information and customer
shipping information.

If my shipping information is blank, how do I get the information from the
billing information to be inserted into the shipping information fields as
well as printing in the billing information fields?

Thanks in advance.
JR

If these are all in the same record, you can use Nz() in a control source
(or expression) like:
=Nz([ShippingCity], [BillingCity])

Sorry for my ignorance, but I am not sure that I understand.

The bill to information is in one form created from a bill to table and the
ship to information is in another form/table. Different records? Yes.
How do I handle this situation?

Thanks in advance,
JR

Since we don't know anything about any relationship between tables (we
didn't even know there were two or more tables), we can't tell you how to
pull any info.

I may not have made myself clear. Sorry.

I have a customer table containing billing information and a ship to table
containing ship to info. These two tables are related via customer ID.

Can I assume you have both tables joined in the report's record source? If
so, the expression I provided should work.
