At the runtime I wish to suppress blank section of data field together with its label/description when there is no data in data field, e.g.

 

source:      XXXXX (data field)

 

the source (label) and the data field are in one of the Detail sections. I want to suppress source too when there is nothing in [data field] and without a blankline. Normally I can suppress the [data field] via section expert when there is no data. However, with label in that section I cannot achieve this. Any advices would be appreicated.

 

I'm using CR XI

PLease provide further help, thanks very much

I am understanding John's situation to be that both the text item and the data item reside on the same detail row, hence they can both be suppressed by suppressing the detail row under the single condition. Am i missing somethng there?

The text/label "Source" is actually hard coded in the section using Insert -> Text object:
