Refining report to save space

[Marie]

I am running a report that lists employees and their
location:

Location
Employee1 name
phone 555.555.5555
fax 555.555.1234 (first)
Employee2 name
phone 555.555.4321
fax 555.555.1234 (duplicate-hidden)

Location2 (etc)

I only need the fax listed once per location, so I set the
fax field to hide duplicates; however, I still need to
hide the fax label if the duplicate fax number is hidden.

I am already hidding the labels for fields that are null:

Dim blnCell As Boolean
Dim blnFax As Boolean

blnCell = Not IsNull(user_cell)
blnFax = Not IsNull(user_fax)

user_cell_Label.Visible = blnCell
user_fax_Label.Visible = blnFax

Thanks!!!

user_cell_Label.Visible = blnCell
user_fax_Label.Visible = blnFax

You can use the IsVisible property:

user_fax_Label.Visible = user_fax.IsVisible

but I suggest you think about placing it in the Location
header section instead of all this fooling around.
