[mso] Re: Access 2003: How to Conditionally Print A LIne In A Report?

Hi David and Robert,

Thanks for responding.

<< If you consolidate the phone numbers into a single field and then put auto 
grow on to it, it might give you the results you're looking for.>>

This ruins the alignment of column headings with the associated data.


<<To prevent Access from printing this blank line when there is no value , you 
need to set the "Can Shrink" property on that field to "Yes.>>
<< If there is an overlap, Access will not shrink the field as desired. 
Basically it should be the only thing on that line.>>

This seems like the solution, however, I still get a second line for those 
members who have blank info in the 2nd_Phone field. The only item of any kind 
on the second line in the Detail section of the report is the place holder for 
2nd_Phone.

I just ran a test report by using "create report using wizard". The only field 
in the entire detail section of the report is 2nd_Phone. No other text boxes 
are specified within the detail section of the report. I did set "Can  shrink" 
to "Yes" on the Format tab of the 2nd_Phone text box..  The result is still a 
55 page report, almost all pages of which are blank.

I'm not sure what is meant by, "make sure that the field that you are 
shrinking does not overlap with any other field (either a physical overlap or 
another field that has the same "Top/Height" range)". What is a "Top/Height" 
range)"?

On another discussion group, I saw the comment that "the text box must be 
bound". What does "bound" mean in this context?

Thanks again,

Ray Shapp
