Hey there,
I am new to this and was curiouis as to how to control the visability of a label within an grid form if the label contains a certain value.
Example: I have a label field called "suffix" that a database stores the value "n/a" in if there is no suffix. When I connect to the database and draw a grid that contains the suffix, I want to contol it the if the "suffix" value = "n/a" do not make this label visable therefore "John Doe" will be displayed and not "John Doe N/A"
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Use the "Before Show Row" of the Grid to clear the Label value. For example:
GridName.Label1.Value = ""
Once the label is cleared then it will not be shown.

Well that worked but now something wierd is happening. values for the suffix field are being carried over into new records.
Example. if it finally comes acroos a "Jr" , everyone after this record becomes "Jr" even though the database shows different. This is the custom code I am using. Like I said I am new at this.
'Custom Code @77-73254650
' -------------------------
if ProviderDirectory.MiddleName.value = "N/A" or ProviderDirectory.MiddleName.value = "n/a"
then
ProviderDirectory.MiddleName.visible = false
else
ProviderDirectory.MiddleName.visible = true
end if
' -------------------------
'End Custom Code
HELP!

Correction, This is the code!!!!
if ProviderDirectory.suffix.value = "N/A" or ProviderDirectory.suffix.value = "n/a" then
ProviderDirectory.suffix.visible = false
else
ProviderDirectory.suffix.visible = True
end if

Set the .Value = "" instead of the .Visible = False
You will not be changing the data in the database by doing this - only the
value displayed in the grid.
Do it in the Before Show Row event (NOT the BeforeShow).
