Bruce, I think I've run into something like this before using a report variable. I think it's a chicken and egg thing.
When does a report variable get evaluated? You may want to move it from a report variable to a before generate eep. Jan -----Original Message----- From: "Bruce A.

The additional requirement is to release the vertical space, so as to not leave wide gaps between visible lines. Thanks much.

Want these NULL regions to disappear/collapse. Background: A Break Header contains Region with Component ID: [ ppRegionLevel4 ]. The Region contains DBLabel control: [ glCodeNUM4 ], which displays correct data values. The goal is to have the Region and Break Header disappear/collapse whenever [ glCodeNUM4 ] is NULL. To this end, the [ Before Generate Custom EEP ] for the Break Header is coded: IF vglCodeNUM4 IS NULL THEN PROPERTY ppRegionLevel4 VISIBLE FALSE ELSE PROPERTY ppRegionLevel4 VISIBLE TRUE ENDIF RETURN Report Variable [ vglCodeNUM4 ] is defined as: 2 : TEXT : H4 : vglCodeNUM4 = (glCodeNUM4) What am I missing here?
