How to Not Print invisible Subreports

Hi

I have a Report made up of 8 Subreports for Knitting Instructions for knitting Garment parts such as Body, Sleeves, Collar, Bands. However, some garments do not have a collar (i.e. a Vee Necked cardigan), so I don't want this subreport to print.

I have made the Subreport invisible, but I still get a blank page where that subreport should appear.

How do I tell it not to print the invisible subreport, and not to leave a space where that subreport would print if it were visible.

I cannot use the Property for No Data, as there is data on the report (a field stating that the Collar Type = N/A, and an OLE picture of the Vee Band, showing why the Collar is Not Applicable). I just don't want to have to print that data.

Many thanks for your ideas

Viv.

Easiest way is to make the height of the subreport as less as possible (just one line) than make sure the "CanGrow" property is set to "Yes" and you're in business :-)

Thanks Nico - That works fine.

However, as I am a complete beginner with VBA and am on a very steep learning curve, how would I tell it not to print the invisible subreport using code?

Hi Viv,

Check out: Suppress Sub Report when a field in that sub report is blank
Instead of the Null (or 0) code there you would need to check or the sub report's query doesn't return records.

Thanks Nico. Could not get the code to run without the same Error Message as your last person. However, Report is now doing exactly as I want, not showing Subreports where there is no Collar or Bands.

Thanks again.
