I'm having a great time tweaking the reports to my eccentric needs. It's pretty straight forward once you get the knack.

However, one thing irritates me. I've created nice Forms and Tables for my info in one "hold everything" Project Print Out. Sometimes though, I don't need one table in it, resulting in "No Data" flaring across the table.

Could someone teach me a simple script to not print empty tables? That would be really reall nice

In the Table Attributes inspector, you can remove all the text in the No Data text field.

We eventually plan to put a 'hide' system where you can hide any element if 'count == 0' or if 'field == nil'.

This hide thing is a little tricky because when you hide something, you would usually want the stuff that follows to move up, but our whole system is based on growing height, not shrinking it. So some care and thought has to go into this hide system.

Do take care and thought A work-around will be slightly different reports depending on available data (ie. a special report for projects with no meetings).

I look forward to no printing nil tables.
