Access reports - handling fields with no data in them

Hi Experts,

I have a report that has 4 fields on it. Some of the records contain information within each field, and on other occassions there is only information in 1, 2 or 3 of the fields.  When I run my report, for each record I only wish to show the fields that have data in them and not the empty fields.

Is this possible, and if so, can anybody help?

Thank you
Terry

Select the field on your report and right click-Properties. Goto "Can Shrink" property and set it to "Yes". When the field is empty it will hide the field. Repeat for each field.

Thank you jppinto.  This did work for the field, but not the label.  Am I missing something?

You did not specify how your report was designed?

Can you post a screenshot, so no guesswork is required?

jppinto's post will hide the "textBox"/Field, as you requested.

You did not mention any labels in your original post, you only used a generic term of:
    Not showing empty "Fields"

;-)
