 It would be nice if a band could be hidden as other report objects can be.

 For example, in a report with a group say "people" and a subgroup (detail
 band in this case) of "contacts"

 If a person has no contacts, then why reserve the space for the blank
 info?


 group band...

     [People_label]
     [Smith, Fred] #field value self.Person

                     [Contacts] #label for detail band.
 object.Show=self.hasContacts  #derived from sql statment. In this test
 case, self.hasContacts=False

 detail band...  #if the band had a Show property then the blank line(s)
 below would not show and not take up space on the report.
      [blank] #field value self.Contact         [Some label]
                                                [blank] #field value
 self.ContactAddress
                                                [blank] #field value
 self.ContactPhone

 Thanks,
 Larry Long
