Is there a way to keep text from printing on a conditional basis? I'm refering to text objects, not text within a field. For example, if Field1 is empty I'd like to not print the field lable "field1:".

Basically, this would be the automated equivalent of selecting "Do not print the selected objects" in the Sliding/Printing dialog box.

You have to specify the "Do Not print the selected objects" specifically for each object. There is no way to conditionally do this.

However, there is a way to 'trick' this into working. You'll have to change the labels a bit, but it's worth it if this works for you.

Change your labels to calculation fields. In the calculation, check to see if the the field is empty or not. If it is, change the label text color to white (or whatever the background color is), or have it display nothing. If the field is not empty, then display the field label to whatever is needed. Then place the calculation field where the label used to be.

This trick will look funny if you're using the sliding options, but if that's not a consideration, then it'll work. I've used this kind of technique before.

Great trick. Don't need it now but a great idea.

Thanks for the creative thinking.
