Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your post. I am quit clear what your accurate concern is. I
would like you to provide more information so that I can fully understand
what you want to do.

1. Which control do you indicate?
2. Which value do you indicate?
3. Can you provide a specified sample to show your concerns?

As I understand, the control in Access generally has a Visiblity property.
We are able to hide the control by setting this property.

Thanks for using MSDN newsgroup.

I have a form which displays data in continuous form format.

I have certain fields in the deatils section that may be empty.

What I want to do is hide these fields on the rows where they have no value.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your feedback. I understand that you want to hide the control
box when the value in the control box is NULL in the continuous format. If
I have misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

Please check and see the suggestions in the following article, they should
meet your requirements.

Jonathan,

If it's on a Single view form, you could use code on the Current event
of the form...
With Me.NameOfYourControl
.Visible = Not IsNull(.Value)
End With

If it's on a Continuous view form, it may be possible to use
Conditional Formatting to simulate the control being hidden by
adjusting the ForeColor and BackColor of the control to match the
BackColor of the form's section.
