Dear All,

I have a crystal report that have a blob field showing image from database.

All records in database dose not have the image but some are. I am showing blob field in details section and its working fine. To hide the blob field when it is null, i used conditional suppress and its working fine too.The problem is that when crystal reports suppress the blob field, its leave the blank space behind it for each record that dose not have image.

I tried hard did not get any way to recover this blank space. So, please help me out and give me a solution for the issue.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and CRforVS.

Thanks

Hi Moovi,

Try this please:

1. Insert a Details B section

2. Move the image to this section.

3. Go to the Section Expert > Highlight Details a > Check 'Underlay following sections'.

4. Highlight Details b > Check Suppress Blank Section.

In the Section Expert there is as option to "Suppress Blank Section" .

If the blob image is suppressed and there is nothing else in the section then "Suppress Blank Section" will do the work.

Thanks for the reply...

I tried this but detail section contains other fields too which have values.
