Hi,
I have a report with Name1 and Name2 in the address section . Sometimes,
Name2 is not populated with data via the query that feeds the report.
Unfortunately, the blank line stays in the report. I've tried experimenting
with the Can Shrink property to no avail. Any tips on eliminating blank
lines the right way would be much appreciated.
thanks!

CanShrink is the right way to do it, but you have to make sure of the
following.
1. There are no other controls overlapping that control's vertical extent.
2. The section and the control both need CanShring set to Yes.
Yes. The code goes in the "Control Source" property.
You also need to start with an "="

This is cool code. I'm not sure how to implement it though. Where does
it go? In the property of the control. I tried the can grow/can shrink
suggested by Steve but is absolutely not working. I can't believe how
complex this is turning out to be.

I haven't ever played with the "can grow/shrink" properties. But, I've
used a less elegant solution...
[name1]
iif(len([name2])=0,[address],[name2])
iif(len([name2])=0,[city] & ", " & [state] & " " & [zip],[address])
iif(len([name2])=0,"",[city] & ", " & [state] & " " & [zip])
Less elegant, but effective for me.

This is working somewhat, but I seem to have 2 cases that I need to
accomodate for: Null Values and Values that had data but the data has since
been deleted so its now an empty string. I don't think the Len check is
working for this. Any thoughts?

The method I proposed was pedicated on [name2] would be the only blank
field.
I should have stated that assumption.
With more than one possibly blank field, then your iif() statements would
have to grow to accomodate ALL of the various combinations of possibly blank
fields. This would result in a large "Rube Goldberg" code block.
I think the solution proposed by Larry Linson in another post of your same
question will be a "cleaner" method.
His solution was to add the fields to vbCrLf and let Access take care of it.
(anything + null = null)
Good Luck
