Bill:
The Report Designer does support the use of the PROPERTY command to
manipulate objects, but has quite a few less when compared to Forms.
You would not be able to indent an object at runtime, but an object
may be made visible, or not by using the PROPERTY command within a
report band's EEP.
In your case, where the indentation is variable based, separate
objects (e. g. DB Memo) for each possible indentation level would
allow for the desired Memo to appear, and others to be invisible.
Each object must be assigned their own Component ID (DBMemo5,
DBMemo10, and DBMemo15).
The following would work for three different indent levels (5, 10, or
15) for the variable vIndentLevel.
SWITCH (.vIndentLevel)
CASE 5
PROPERTY DBMemo5 VISIBLE 'TRUE'
PROPERTY DBMemo10 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
PROPERTY DBMemo15 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
BREAK
CASE 10
PROPERTY DBMemo5 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
PROPERTY DBMemo10 VISIBLE 'TRUE'
PROPERTY DBMemo15 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
BREAK
CASE 15
PROPERTY DBMemo5 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
PROPERTY DBMemo10 VISIBLE 'FALSE'
PROPERTY DBMemo15 VISIBLE 'TRUE'
BREAK
ENDSW
If there is a large number of objects for each specific indentation,
place the objects within a Region, and then make the desired Region
visible, with the other Regions hidden.

I need to indent the printing in a report based on the value of a
variable. This would look much like a bill of material where the
child records would be indented from the parent. I know the
variable value but have been unable to figure out how to indent the
text based on that variable. Anyone done this before?
Thanks, Bill
