    Unhappy

    Hi all - in my report, the details section can show up to 8 fields. The fields are aligned atop each other, like so:

    field1
    field2
    field3
    field4
    field5
    field6
    field7
    field8

    I suppress the fields if they are null. The problem is that the report appears very disorganized and has too much white space. I need to be able to modify the positions of the fields so that they appear consecutively. Example: if fields 2 and 5 are suppressed, I want the report's details section to show like this:

    field1
    field3
    field4
    field6
    field7
    field8

    but instead it comes out like this:

    field1

    field3
    field4

    field6
    field7
    field8

    and the spaces make it look horrible! How to fix this?

    Never mind! I got it...I did it by dividing the details section into 8 parts. Then I placed each field into its a separate subsection and set the "Suppress blank section" to true.
