Totes Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hi, (this may belong in the print section, but since it involves a layout I posted it here) I have searched most of the day and can’t come up with anything close. Is it possible to have a report layout to print only the fields that have data in them? (if you know of post explaining this, could you tell me how you searched for it, I tried inserting all operators into the search and still could not find anything). Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweeytlab Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I don't know if this solves your problem, but you could insert merge fields into the report - and then it will only print the data when there is data there, and move all other text up when there is no data.

Totes Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thanks, I have only messed with merge fields a little, so I do not have much knowledge of them...yet. How would that handle the field name next to the field: Address:<> Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It might be easiest to make calculated text fields that display the field name and the field data only if there is data, and use these on the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 ... or upgrade to vs. 9 for conditional formatting. That alone is worth upgrading for, in my opinion. I keep finding more and more uses every day. :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totes Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks, Ive been holding off on moving to 9 until I get a better grasp of what I am doing in 8.5. I guess Ill have to take the plunge sooner than later. Thanks again, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
