Making Textbox Invisible in Report-HELP!

I created a simple Report for an invoice. How do I make a textbox invisible if the value is 0.00?

I tried a If then else statement but, obviously I'm missing something.

My textboxes are Amount1 - Amount5

Going crosseyed-- need your help!

There are probably better ways of doing this but one method that I have
used is to have another invisible text box with the controlsource that
your current text box has. Then make the controlsource of your current
textbox: =IIf([SecondTextBox] = 0,Null,[SecondTextBox])

Invisible?
Or just not show any value?
Set the Format property of each control to:
#.00;-#00;""

In Access help, look up:
Format property + Number and currency datatypes

Ok I will try that out. I don't want the text boxes to show any value if it is 0.00.

Your code needs to be in the OnFormat event:

if textboxdatafield = 0 then textbox.visible = true else textbox.visible =
false

(I think you can do it on one line like that.)
