If detail data in report null, how to get access to skip line.

[Looneydiver]

I am working on a critique report. One of the reports shows comments. Not
everyone includes these comments. When I run the comment report, there are
blank lines where no comments were left. Can I get access to skip these
detail lines when no data is present.

Thanks!

Without seeing how your report is set up, I'm not sure whether the best
answer is to apply criteria to the report's recordsource so that records
with no comments are excluded, or whether you should just set the Can Shrink
property of the Comments text box to Yes, along with the Can Shrink property
of the Detail section. But one of those approaches ought to solve your
problem.
