hello, i need to remove line when blank however maintaining a fixed band height. My detail band height should be fixed. example my detail shows 3 fields Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 always i should have 3 lines however if field 2 is null, i have set the property remove line when blank This makes the field 3 move up which is what is desired. Currrent Layout Record 1 abc Record 1 def --------------------------- Record 2 ppp Record 2 hhh Record 2 jjj ---------------------------- however this impacts on my layout since the next records fields are shifted up. I used frame around all 3 fields but it is not helping Expected Layout Record 1 abc Record 1 def --------------------------- Record 2 ppp Record 2 hhh Record 2 jjj ------------------------------ Note there is a gap between Record 1 and Record 2 although line 3 has moved up the overall layout is unaffected. Any suggestions please? Thanks JP
