  Hi
  you cannot place stretched memos one above the other in a band!
  But you can attach a child band abd set memos to stretched in that band.

  That's useful.
  
  How would I suppress the child band on a per record basis? I don't want it to pad out my report when it contains no data.
  
  NB: I populate my report using OnGetValue, if that has a bearing on the above.
  
  Thanks

  you can retrieve and test value in obp of master, test the value of var and set visible property of child band.

  >>d test value in obp of master
  
  obp? = OnBeforePrint?
  
  I use OnGetValue for all my data, can this still be used in OnBeforePrint? e.g.
  
  if ( [extranotes] ??? .IsEmpty() )
  bandChild.Visible = false;

  Yes
  When fr encounters a variable it checks to see what it must do
  see notes in docs on programming.
  if <condition exprssion> true then child1.visible := false else child1,visible := true;
  or in obp event of child
  visible := [expression that equates to true or false];
