I figure that I can locate the field-control, set its default properties to make it "invisible" then, on the relatively rare occasions when the determining value NOT LIKE '%001', change those properties to display the previously hidden field.

Steve, That is the most eloquent technique in Report or Label Designer to achieve your objective. Example: -- Start here -- Before Generate Custom EEP for Detail and/or Appropriate Band IF vDeterminingValue NOT LIKE '%001' THEN PROPERTY HiddenControlCompID VALUE .vPreviousValue PROPERTY HiddenControlCompID VISIBLE 'TRUE' PROPERTY HiddenControlCompID FONT_COLOR 'GREEN' ELSE PROPERTY HiddenControlCompID VISIBLE 'FALSE' ENDIF RETURN -- End here Based on your specific circumstances, you may update the order of PROPERTY commands and actual variable names accordingly. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
