How conditionally skip stuff on a report?

I strive to behave in concordance with the Rules of Conduct, so I'd
appreciate learning what is it about my "second post in this thread" that
you've interpreted as an attack on your proposed solution?

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

We're in agreement, then ...

We need to know how the OP is defining his terms to offer an suitable
approach.

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!

Here's a direct quote from the OP - "How do I get the report to skip
that record. "

Yes, the OP also mention the blank..., but asked a direct question
about skipping a record.

My initial response asked the OP for clarification, whether "skip"
meant the entire record or just the field.

Read a little closer! He doesn't want to see a blank line when there
is no comment. This is the same as is typically done when there are
Address1 and Address2 fields in an address and there is no Address2.

As asked, the original poster wished to "skip that record", not
(merely) the control/blank...

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.

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!!
