How conditionally skip stuff on a report?
Good morning,
I saw the article "How conditionally display stuff on a report?", however I have a slight twist. I have a field "comments" that is occasionally blank. When the report prints, it prints a blank line if the comment is blank (obviously). How do I get the report to skip that record. I tried the IIF statement with no luck. Thanks!!

How conditionally skip stuff on a report?
When you say "skip", do you mean "don't show ANY of the fields in a record
that has nothing in the [Comments] field? If so, use a query! Exclude rows with "blanks" (now the tough part ... "blank" could mean Null, or zero-length string, or spaces ... they all look blank to me!). Your query needs to exclude any of those possibilities.

How conditionally skip stuff on a report?
Hello Ray,
Have you tried setting the Comments field in your report Can Shrink property to Yes? Setting it to Yes will cause the textbox's height to shrink to 0 and thus not give you the blank line.

How conditionally skip stuff on a report?
The OP said " When the report prints, it prints a blank line if the comment
is blank (obviously). How do I get the report to skip that record." A record would not just include a comment field. The record would include at least one or more fields. Just because the comment field is blank does not mean the report should not display other info in the record. Like many posts to the newsgroups, terms are misused. I interpret the OP's question to mean he does not want to see the blank line left by the comment field when there is no comment. Just like not wanting to see a blank line when there is no Address2. I'm not saying you are wrong! Steve "Jeff Boyce" wrote in message ... Steve Here's a direct quote from the OP - "How do I get the report to skip that record.

How conditionally skip stuff on a report?
Yes, we are in agreement on defining terms.
The issue is your second post in this thread. I don't appreciate you criticizing my suggested solution. You could have let well enough alone with your first response without criticizing my response. We had different solutions and the OP could have chosen the one he wanted or came back and asked another question. You attacked my post which violates the Rules of Conduct for an MVP. I would appreciate you not doing that again. Regards, Steve "Jeff Boyce" wrote in message ... We're in agreement, then ...
