Using The Data Report Tool in VB6

[nidgep]

Hello!

Can anyone tell me how to force a function control on a data report to display a value, even when the DataField that it is bound to does not yield anything?

So far I cannot find a way to acheive this programmatically or otherwise!

Thanks to anyone who offers advice / help

Save yourself the time a trouble and use Crystal Reports. I too used to fight the Data Report Tool in VB, but unless you are doing simple data reports that require no processing, just outputing the data, the Data Report Tool is a nightmare. Once you use Crystal Reports you will wish you had not even heard of the Data Report Tool.
