Well, sort of, if you're just looking at testing a simple variable. But how do you hide a string based on testing a database field for, say, being empty? /That/ I don't seem to be able to make work. The obvious syntax Addresses.Sheet1.Work Phone neq "" just hides the text all the time. After a search of the help file, I found the "To display conditional text based on the contents of a database field" part - but still can't make it 'go'. A condition like Addresses.Sheet1.Work Phone neq "" always replaces with the 'then' rather than the 'else' string.
