Is it possible to print 'fill-in' records on the fly?

rbuser

I have a set of 10 records with holes in it (missing records). Can I print
dummy records based on holes in my data without skipping real records?

TIA

The easiest thing to do is to place criteria on your query which will limit
the data to records which have actual data in them. On the other hand, you
have 10 records, some have data and some don't. You can use the
DetailBand.BeforePrint event to set the visibility of the data aware
controls to false. Then assign dummy text data to labels in the detail
band. You may want to use two regions, one for the dat aware controls and
one for the dummy labels, this way you can toggle the region's visibility
and make it easier on yourself to control a group of components in the band.
