I would like to suppress these and move other data up in it's place
Ie

Address 2
Town

Address1
Town

Hi Eric
Do I create a new formula for this and if so where do I put it?

FWIW, if you put the fields in separate sections (with nothing else in the section), then you should be able to just use the "Suppress blank section" option in the Section Expert to suppress those sections, rather than creating a suppression formula.  Either one works.  "Suppress blank section" is just a bit easier.

Hi James
That is what I am doing
Thanks
Gordon
Well, if there is nothing else in that section, then what James suggested would definitely work.
But, in case, you want to display a label for each of those fields, then the section won't be blank.
That's why I suggested to use section expert level suppression.
Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
