Hi svenn, Thanks for your input. I will give it a try.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone here can guide me. I've inherited a Jasper Reporting project that is quite old. The project uses jasperreports-2.0.5.jar & iReport3.0.0. I'd like to recommend that we upgrade to the latest versions JasperReports 4.5.1 & iReport 4.5.1. But I need to give the effort involved in doing this. Can you guys let me know how big of an upgrade this would be. Would the jar file just need to be replaced & the existing java code would continue working as is? What about the jrxml files? Will they continue to work properly? Or would this whole thing require a complete re-write? If anyone can give me a general idea I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks

Thanks all. I'll give it a try.

Hi mennei, thanks for the answer. The dynamic textfield also forced me to expand the detail band height because it didn`t fit on an existing line. So is there a way to decrease the band height back to a single line (11) instead of (22) when the parameter is false? Code:/** if myParameter is false, reduce band height and skip textField **/ <detail> <band height="22"><textField > <reportElement key="textField-2"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font size="8"/> </textElement> <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA[$P{clientCity}]> </textFieldExpression> </textField> ..</detail>

Hello, is there a way hide the whole textfield element in the code below with an "if" statement? Perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible in the reporting world. So please let me know if I'm way off. Any information would be appreciated. Code:/** if myParameter is false, skip this textfield **/<textField > <reportElement key="textField-2"/> <box></box> <textElement> <font size="8"/> </textElement> <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA[$P{clientCity}]> </textFieldExpression> </textField>
