 |
|
Say you have, in the Details Bank, 4 fields such as
Name
Address1
Address2
City, State Zip
Sometimes there will be an Address2, sometimes there will not.
So, when the underlying table has null or empty string for the Address2 field,
How do I work it in ReportBuilder so that there is not an ugly gap in the report column for these address elements?
What I am doing now, is putting the City, State Zip info into the Address2 spot when Address2 is blank, then making the
spot for City, State Zip be blank. All this does is move the ugly blank to the bottom of the row, so it is not quite so
ugly, but still not acceptible.
Is there a way to do this in ReportBuilder?
Thanks,
Jon Jacobs

Hi Jon,
Check out the demo 33 located in the RBuilderDemos1. Reports...
directory (dm0033.pas). This example shows how you can use TppMemo objects
to "squeeze" the address to the proper size.

Aha. A memo control. Thank you. That's just the ticket.
