Re: [MS_AccessPros] Text alignment in Text Box of a report

 

John,

Thank you very much for explaining the difference between + and &, and their outputs.

It worked for me, i removed the extra blank spaces.

Regards,

Khalid

Do this:

=("Office:" + [TelephoneOffice]) & ("                 Residence: " + [TelephoneResidence]) & (" Cell:" + [MobileNo1]) & (" Email: " + [MemberEmail])

When you use + instead of & to concatenate, if any string is Null, the entire string will be empty.

Hi all,

In one of my report on its Detail Section i have four text boxes and their Control source pattern is same except the data.

I need that each piece of information displays in single line, in the designed column width and same row, and if the data is not available for that field it should not display.

For e.g Text Box "TelephoneEmailCell" Control Source is:

="Office:" & [TelephoneOffice] & "                 Residence: " & [TelephoneResidence] & " Cell:" & [MobileNo1] & " Email: " & [MemberEmail]

(I have put extra spaces trying to adjust the display)

I need the display as below in separate lines:

Office: (The number it has) ------ If "TelephoneOffice" is Null, then "Office:" should not display

Residence: (The number it has) --- If "TelephoneResidence" is Null, then "Residence:" should not display

Cell: (The number it has) --- If "MobileNo1" is Null, then "Cell:" should not display

Email: (Email address) --- If "MemberEmail" is Null, then "Email:" should not display

Any possibilities there to accomplish this ? If so, please help.

Regards,

Khalid
