How do you hide a label in a Region is there is not any information in the DBText field

edited November 2004 in End User
Hello,



I am using a program called PTWin32 by Black Bear Systems that includes the
RBPro report writer for creating all the reports in the system. I have very
limited knowledge about the report writing software package and can not find
a way to suppress text labels if the corresponding database field is not
populated.



This is the current output. Bold represents a label.



Occupant Joe Smith DOB 1/1/1980 Relationship Son

Occupant Mary Smith DOB 2/2/1970 Relationship Daughter

Occupant Bill Smith DOB 1/1/1935 Relationship Father

Occupant DOB Relationship

Occupant DOB Relationship

Occupant DOB Relationship

Occupant DOB Relationship

Occupant DOB Relationship



This is what I would like to happen. All blank occupants lines be
suppressed. My out put should look like this.



Occupant Joe Smith DOB 1/1/1980 Relationship Son

Occupant Mary Smith DOB 2/2/1970 Relationship Daughter

Occupant Bill Smith DOB 1/1/1935 Relationship Father



All help is appreciated.

    Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support to
    the Delphi developers that purchase ReportBuilder. Digital Metaphors
    receives no distribution royalties from Delphi developers that embed
    end-user reporting solutions in their applications. It is the responsibility
    of the software publishers that sold you the product to provide you with
    tech support.

    There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
    downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
    infomation.

    Article: Learning ReportBuilder
    --------------------------------

    Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
    users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
    file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
    The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
    through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
    complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
    report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
    the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
    just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
    ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
    three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

    Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
    When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
    appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
    upon installation.
