hello,

I am doing one welcome letter report ..
in tHE LAYOUT EDITOR of the report I have pasted the format and
I fetch the address of the client from the database..


for example:

AddressFeild1: WHITE HOUSE
AddressFeild2: NEW NO 3
AddressFeild3: GANDHIJI STREET
AddressFeild4: VALASARAWAKKAM
AddressFeild5: CHENNAI
AddressFeild6: TAMIL NADU
AddressFeild7: INDIA
AddressFeild8: 600014



It works well ..

But if a client doesn't have values for AddressFeild2 and AddressFeild4 then that line is left empty..
then the letter looks odd...

If there is no value for that feild I don't want a empty line
I want the other feild values to be moved up..
so that there is no empty lines...


Pls help me out ...

Hi,
You can use format trigger to move up ur address feilds, Right this same format trigger for Text(Label) addr1 and Feild(value) Addr1 both.
E.g.
if :addr1 is null then
return(false);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
And set Verticle Elasticity Property of Feild and Text 'VARIABLE'.
Hope it will work for u.
Cheers
Sandy
