I am having a problem with getting a text box suppressed if repeated.<br>I have an address of fields Addr1, Addr2, Addr3, City, County, State and Zip.<br>The last 4 are all put into one text box so that they appear on the same line of the report (in format &lt;City&gt;, &lt;County&gt;, &lt;State&gt; &lt;Zip&gt;). However, when I have 'Suppress Duplicates' checked on the text box it does not seem to work. The Fields which have Addr1 etc.. on and have suppress field check does work.<br>Does anyone know of a way around this?<br><br>Furthermore, if Addr2 and/or 3 are blank, is there any way to move the fields after them up a line so I am not left with any blank lines???
 
For the second question...<br>Note the distinction between Group and Section.<br>In the group where you want the address, insert a section for Addr1, another one for Addr2, another one for Addr3, and another one for @CityStateZip.&nbsp;&nbsp;Format all the sections to suppress if blank.&nbsp;&nbsp;That way only the sections with data will take up space on the report. <p>Malcolm Wynden<br><a href=mailto:wynden@island.dot.net>wynden@island.dot.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Thank you. I have also sorted out the first part. (it was my mistake since I am new to Crystal, I was putting each field into the same text box instead of concatanating them using a formula - once I did it this way with suppression for duplicates on, then it did what I required).
