I have a report in Access 2007 that consist of a Report Header, Page Header, "Employee_ID" footer, Page Footer, and Report Footer.

I am basically printing a summary line for each employee ID with totals.

Currently I am not printing any detail lines, but would like to see if there is a way to conditionally print a detail line if a certain text field is not blank.

Is there a way to conditionally print a detail line, without affecting my summary totals? I don't want to print the detail line for blank values.

Thanks
 
Have a look in help at MoveLayout/NextRecord/PrintSection.


Sure, the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
 
I would add code to the On Format event of the Detail Section like:
Code:
Cancel = IsNull(Me.txtCheckMeForAValue)
