CanShrink Option?

Hello,

I am trying to shrink a field when no data exists. In my case I have several address fields. If my second and third address lines are blank I want the fields below to move up and not print blank lines.

I have found some references to a CanShrink property for the .Net version. Is there something similar for the VCL version?

End users are going to customizing this report so I really don't want a lot of script to make this work.

So for my specific example I have
[Address Line 1]
[Address Line 2]
[Address Line 3]
[City]
[State][Zip]

If Address Line 2 and 3 are blank I don't want blank lines between Line 1 and the City field.

Thanks,

Mark

    Use IIF function
    [Address Line 1]
    [IIF(<Address Line 2> <> '', <Address Line 2> + #13#10, '')][IIF(<Address Line 3> <> '', <Address Line 3> + #13#10, '')][City]
    [State][Zip]

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
