Got to be careful with OnPage though. I've found that doing anything other then adding to what's already there (like drawing a border) doesn't work well if at all. For hiding things, much better to handle things in the OnFormat event before it even gets placed on the page.

Check out "On Page" event. This where I would put the code to check for a zero balance and turn off the field altogether. You might check into adding different groups and put the balance display within one of these group...if a balance is zero turn off the group display. Something like: Me.BalanceFooterSection.Visible = (Me.Balance <> 0) Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Brad Marks Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 12:48 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Need to Suppress Subtotals that are Equal to zero (andNot Create Excess White Space on the Report) All, I have an existing report that summarizes Sales Orders. For each Part on each Sales Order, there is a line that shows the number of parts manufactured and the number of parts shipped. This is working nicely. This report also has a subtotal on the number of parts. In 99% of the cases, this subtotal will be 0, as the number of parts that are manufactured *should* be the same as the number of parts shipped. This subtotal is working nicely also. Recently, there has been a request to create a variation of this report that does not show details, but ONLY shows subtotals that are not zero. This will save time for our users as they will not need to wade through many pages of the existing report looking for subtotals that are not zero. I have set up a new report that only shows subtotals. In the Subtotal Footer "On Print" event, I have coded "Cancel = True" if the subtotal amount is zero. This works, but there are now blank lines on the report for all subtotals that are zero. I have set the Subtotal Footer and the two fields in the footer to "Can Shrink = YES" I am trying to figure out how to prevent the white space from being generated for subtotals that are being suppressed.
