display field- only under certain conditions

[NeoCryptic]

I have assets printing to a report. On the software report there is a notes section. Some items have no notes and others have really long notes. Is there a way to make it so that I could put a field on the report layout so that if there was a note, it would display (to the right length to include everything), and if there was no notes...it wouldn't show at all?

I uploaded a sample of a conditional 'invisibility' file abut two thirds of the way down here

This version of the Visibility technique will slow as more records are added to the solution. It's akin to the Constant relationship problem. Better to use the version in my DevCon 2005 presentation which uses serial numbers to decrease the strain on the index used for the relationship.

Also, you might want to take a look at the Sliding Objects feature. It's not totally clear where you want the notes to display but the Sliding Objects feature is a good way to remove empty space from a field when printing or previewing.
