Printing question

edited October 2004 in General
We have a few reports that print out various forms with fields linked to the
database fields. What I would like to do is print the report with the data
fields blank to allow manual data entry on site. I need to replace the blank
datafield with either a box or __________ to ensure the information is put
in the right fields.

eg
if ppDBEdit4 is null then print "_________"

Cheers.

    Hi Steve,

    I would suggest placing a TppLine just below the DBText component with its
    Visible property set to False. Then inside the DetailBand.BeforePrint check
    the field value. If it is null, set the TppLine.Visible to True, else, set
    it back to False.
