Dennis, I can think of another way to do it with a lot of PROPERTY commands. I always thought this was pretty efficient and pretty sure I got it from one of Razzak's samples.

I thought I saw an even better way in one of Razzak’s demo’s but can’t find it.

Say the address has 6 lines. Any of the lines can be null. I’m doing some fiddling in code and variables to move lines up the pecking order so the address always formats without blank lines. Does anyone have an even better way to do this on an RBASE report? If not, don’t worry, my old stuff will work fine, but I’m always looking for more efficient ways to do things. Thanks Dennis McGrath
