Actuate 6 - question on dynamic text

[ryanrat]

We recently acquired Actuate 6 in a web based CRM application, so I can definitely be considered a "newbie."

I'm attempting to write a report for my users, but am struggling a bit.

In this report, I need to pull fields First_Name and Last_Name from the database. I'm having problems modifying the properties of the dynamic fields so that they are closer together - instead of being a half inch or so apart. I'm sure this is basic Actuate, but can anybody lead me in the right direction to make this happen?

One way that you can handle names so that they 'flow' with a single space between them -- or to have "LastName, FirstName" -- is to set the ValueExp of a text control to the two columns' names:

FirstName & " " & LastName

Hope this is what you're looking for.
