Looks like Label17 is not tied to the connections field. In that 
case.

in your Detail_format() put:

If connections < " " then
  connections.visible = false
  label17.visible = false
else
  connections.visible = true
 label17.visible  = true
end if

or if connections can be null you need
if nz(connections,"") < " "
