[AccessD] How to suppress specific report lines while usingacViewReport

Oh.  2007.  All bets are off. Actually not familiar with acViewReport
parameter - must be new for 2007?  What's it mean?

Rocky,

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

It appears that for some reason the Format event is not getting initiated
when I use "acViewReport".

For a quick test, I simply put a MSGBOX in the Format event and opened the
report.  I did not receive any message.

I am using 2007, in case that makes a difference.

Thanks again,
Brad

Brad:

I use the Format event of the Detail section all the time to do this.
Preview or Print  shouldn't matter.  

I use:

If Nz(Me.fldMWCIInventoryQuantity) = 0 And Nz(Me.Allocation) = 0 Then
    Me.MoveLayout = False
    Me.NextRecord = True
    Me.PrintSection = False
End If

Sub in your own conditions on the If. This was cribbed directly from the
Detail_Format event module.  But it works in the Format event of any
section.

HTH

Rocky

We are using this command to open a Report DoCmd.OpenReport "Report100",
acViewReport, "", "", acNormal

I would like to suppress some detail lines and subtotals based on the value
of another field.  

The "On Format" event apparently does not get initiated with acViewReport

The "On Paint" event does get initiated and can detect the conditions when
we would like to suppress a line by looking at the value of a field. 

The catch is that when I try to use

Me.ABC.Visible = False

I receive the following
Error 32521 - You can't change the value of this property in the OnPaint
event 

There is probably an easy way to do this.  I must be missing something.

Thanks,
Brad
