supressing textbox labels

[pamdixon via AccessMonster.com]

I have a report that has 20 textboxes with labels. Not all textboxes have
data. I set the "can shrink" to "yes" and it supresses the textboxes but I
still see the labels.

How do I supress the labels?

If your report uses labels that are connected to "their" textboxes, a
shrinking textbox shrinks the label, too, if I recall correctly.

Are all your labels connected (i.e., "owned" by their respective textboxes)?

The textboxes do shrink, but the labels don't.

My report is like this and I want each project to have its own section, not
in a spreadsheet format.

I didn't notice whether you had confirmed that the textboxes "owned" their
labels. If they don't, the labels wouldn't know to shrink.

I couldn't tell from your example how a "project" (?ITS Equipment) would
have a section.

Have you used the Sorting/Grouping button on the Toolbar to set sections?
