I am attempting to make controls and labels visible or not based on whether
there is data in the first control or not. If the controls value is <= 0 make
all related control's visible porperties = False, if it's greater than >0
make all related control's properties = True. Below is a sample of my
approach. However, if used in the report on open event I get this error: "You
entered an expression that has no value. The expression may refer to an
object that has no value, such as a form, a report or a label control."

Sample code follows:

If Me![txtGN] <= 0 Then
Me![lblGN].Visible = False
Me![txtGN].Visible = False
Me![txtGN1].Visible = False
End If

If Me![txtGVP] <= 0 Then
Me![lblGVP].Visible = False
Me![txtGVP].Visible = False
Me![txtGVP1].Visible = False
End If

Any idea why I'm getting this error message?

Thanks for you input, as always!

You should try move the code to the On Format event of the section
containing the controls.

Mr. Hookom:

I'v moved the code to the format section. However, it still does not work
when I run the report all controls that should be set to visible = False are
still visible = True. Am I missing something? I do have other controls in the
PageHeaer section that do go to visible = False when the condition for it are
met. The current other ones are not working since the lable control
(Me![lblGN]) is in the header section, then another (Me![txtGN]) is in the
detail section and the third control (Me![txtGN1]) control is in the Report
Footer section. Would I need to place the code for each one in the respective
format section?

Thanks,

I would place code for a control in the On Format of the section containing
that control. If your controls are in multiple sections, you may need to
break your code into multiple sections.

Duane:

I've placed this code in the PageHEader section of the report and the Lable
control is still visible when it should not be. Here is the code in this
section:

If Me![txtGN] <= 0 Then
Me![lblGN].Visible = False
'Me![txtGN].Visible = False
'Me![txtGN1].Visible = False
End If

If Me![txtGVP] <= 0 Then
Me![lblGVP].Visible = False
'Me![txtGVP].Visible = False
'Me![txtGVP1].Visible = False
End If

I must be missing something, what could it be?


Thanks again,.....

that control. If your controls are in multiple sections, you may need to

Have you tried setting a break point to step through the code? Is txtGH also
in the PageHeader? If not, try place a control in the PageHeader with the
value and use it in place of txtGN.
