... and one more thing.  Even if my response "implicitly criticized" your
proposed solution, how do you bridge the obvious gap to considering that an
attack?

Are you suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you or criticizes
something you propose is attacking you?

The fact that you posted it as a response to my post implicitly criticizing
my proposed solution. All you did was to cause Visio John to interject a
defamatory comment.

Now let's drop it - it's done and over!

I strive to behave in concordance with the Rules of Conduct, so I'd
appreciate learning what is it about my "second post in this thread" that
you've interpreted as an attack on your proposed solution?

Yes, we are in agreement on defining terms.

The issue is your second post in this thread. I don't appreciate you
criticizing my suggested solution. You could have let well enough alone with
your first response without criticizing my response. We had different
solutions and the OP could have chosen the one he wanted or came back and
asked another question. You attacked my post which violates the Rules of
Conduct for an MVP. I would appreciate you not doing that again.

We need to know how the OP is defining his terms to offer an suitable
approach.

The OP said " When the report prints, it prints a blank line if the comment
is blank (obviously).  How do I get the report to skip that record."

A record would not just include a comment field. The record would include at
least one or more fields. Just because the comment field is blank does not
mean the report should not display other info in the record. Like many posts
to the newsgroups, terms are misused. I interpret the OP's question to mean
he does not want to see the blank line left by the comment field when there
is no comment. Just like not wanting to see a blank line when there is no
Address2.

I'm not saying you are wrong!

Here's a direct quote from the OP - "How do I get the report to skip that
record. "

Yes, the OP also mention the blank..., but asked a direct question about
skipping a record.

My initial response asked the OP for clarification, whether "skip" meant the
entire record or just the field.

Read a little closer! He doesn't want to see a blank line when there is no
comment. This is the same as is typically done when there are Address1 and
Address2 fields in an address and there is no Address2.

Hello Ray,

Have you tried setting the Comments field in your report Can Shrink property
to Yes? Setting it to Yes will cause the textbox's height to shrink to 0 and
thus not give you the blank line.

Good morning,
I saw the article "How conditionally display stuff on a report?", however I have a slight twist.

I have a field "comments" that is occasionally blank.  When the report prints, it prints a blank line if the comment is blank (obviously).  How do I get the report to skip that record.  I tried the IIF statement with no luck.
Thanks!!
