hi there,

I have 3 date fields in my table I querying, client_date, internal_date, design_date.

I need to do some analysis of my project_code field in order to display different dates.
here's the logic:

1. check 7th digit in field PROJECT_CODE
2. if 7th digit is 'D', then display 'client_date' and 'internal_date' (with labels). If 7th digit is 'S', display only 'design_date' (plus label)

I haven't got a clue how to go about this at all!
can someone point me in the right direction with how to tackle this problem.

thanks in advance!
 
Throw some Actuate Basic code in the details section that will check the digit and set the size.height/width = 0 for the fields you wish to hide.
