Hiding Report Section on Data

[Theresa]

Hi,
I have read the question: 'Hide a section based on contents at run time' and
followed the recommendations but the groupheaders were hiden on the data of
the first record and not reassessed for each record.
My situation is as follows:
Page Header
Group header 1 [this contains an image]
Group header 2 [this contains an image]
Details
When there is no image in eather group header1 or 2 I need it to be removed.
I have tried: cancel = Not HasData
but it does not work for each record only the first.
Regards
Theresa

You need code in the On Format event of the section to hide like:

Cancel = Len(Me.txtImageName & "") = 0

Thanks Duane,
Your solution would not work because the field is an image not a string.
However, I did solve the problem by creating a flag (yes/no) to indicate the
presence of the image and then used:
cancel = Not ImageFlag
in the Format event and it works just fine.
