Turning off a detail line in a Report

Is there anyway to turn off a Footer line in a report?

I have "Description Header" and "Description Footer". "Description Header" holds most of the information while "Description Footer" Holds one field called "Notes". If "Notes" is empty, I don't want "Description Footer" to print.

I have tried using If statements under the Format event and a couple of the other events but have had no luck. Am I trying something that can't be done?

You might have to mess around with which format event to use but you can set the visibility of a section to True/False to hide them.

How about simply setting the notes textbox to zero height dragging up the footer to match the zero height of the textbox and then set the 'Can Grow' property of the textbox to Yes that way the footer expands or contracts depending whether or not something is in the field
