There is no attribute, you need a piece of javascript in an html item to modify or delete what Cognos puts in the control. This is a fairly FAQ so search this forum or others and you should find what you need.

Thanks! But I'm pretty sure there is a settings perhaps in a XML file that can be set to eliminate the column name. I'll look further into it.

Thanks anyway for the prompt reply!!!

Please post back if you find such a setting, I would be very interested and think others would too.

function init(){
var x = document.getElementsByTagName('select');

var RN_SelectClass = "clsSelectControl";
var is_Required;
var par1;
var par2;

for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
if (x.className != RN_SelectClass) continue;
eval('is_Required=listBox'.concat(x.name.substr(RN_SelectName.length,x.name.length).concat('.isRequired();')));
for (var j=0;j<x.length;j++)
{
if (x.options(j).value == "") {
x.remove(j);
}
}
if (is_Required) {
x.remove(0);
eval('listBox'.concat(x.name.substr(RN_SelectName.length,x.name.length).concat('.checkData()')));
}else {
x.options(0).text = '';
x.options(0).value = '';
}
}
