Need technique to make empty fields disappear.

I'm adding a Flight Tracking Module to my Event Planning Database. No problem building the relational tables for tracking multiple flights or anything like that. The only problem I am having is with the Flight Tracking Report I'm building. The summary/sub summary report is sorted first by Home Gateway, then by Arrival-Departure Pattern, with the body containing delegate information (of not all the sorting functions and that output is working flawlessly). The specific problem I'm having is that in the record row (body) which is one per delegate including their name, passport number, etc., I cannot get the multiple flights information to slide up if the above fields are empty. So as an example if I have four inbound flights per person (each with its own info like gateway, terminal, times, etc.), if two are empty (because I only need two legs to get the delegate to their destination), I want the full flight fields to slide up so I don't have a huge amount of unnecessary dead space. I've tried what I thought was the best route which was grouping the flight fields, anchored to the left only, then instructing them to slide up.....but that's not working. The empty fields are maintaining their space, and the full fields remain tiled below that dead space. Without having to write a bunch of calc fields to transition redundant data into text fields (which will ruin the column formatting), is there any way I'm missing to get the two unused field rows (let's call them Flight 3 & Flight 4) to disappear and have Flight 2 & Flight 1 shift upwards to top-align in the body section? Many thanks in advance....Matthew.

FYI: Problem may have been a bug with original version of v9.0 advanced. Just ran the 9.03 advanced update and it's working perfectly.

On one hand - Woohoo!

On the other - I just wasted 2 hours trying to debug something that I actually had configured properly. I'm going to send FM an invoice. :-)
