  Thanks, it worked except for the following..
  
  Is it possible for the underlying objects to "shift" into the place of the invisible object. At the moment the report just show blank spaces for objects that don't have any data.
  
  Thank You

  no you are only setting the visible property not the out put location.
  However you can mod the engine's curx or cury position
  read the user manual on script and using the engine object.
  Also Note that the engine processes the design page from top down depending on band type
  and the objects in the band from left to right depending upon creation order,
  the band is not actually output it is a place holder for the objects contained within its bounds.
