hiding a field on a standard letter

[Johnny777]

Hi

Is there a way to hide fields on a report.

I have a basic letter setup with the standard address fields

Basically I want to hide the country on the letter if it is UK and show it if it is any other country

Create another field cCountry = if (country="UK", "", country). Place this field on the printout.

Note that starting with FM9 you can accomplish this with conditional formatting.

Well, his profile does say FM8, but honestly, old habits die hard.

Nothing wrong with your proposed solution, I was just giving Johnny a reason to upgrade.

Those types of calcs still have uses even in FM9, e.g. in IWP you can't use conditional formatting.

cCountry = if (country="UK"[color:red]; ""[color:red]; country)

A small thing but, neither If() nor Case() require default so it could even be:

cCountry = If ( country :notequal: "UK" ; country )

I've been gone for awhile and it feels good to be back connected with everyone!
