Make Fields Invisible in Detail, or Field Header?

[Heatshiver]

Is there a simple way, or special event, that can be used to turn off the visibility of fields when they are in the detail or in a created header for a field?

I tried using the report's Load event, but this kept giving me errors. Are any of the events in the detail able to allow this?

Thanks.

strange question maybe, but why do you need to do this? If you are not going to show them, can you not just either delete them, or set them with 0 height and width so they're too small to be seen? Or just set their Visible property to No?

Not a strange question at all. Certain fields may not always contain a value and I would prefer them to be gone if that is the case.

This raises a good point I was wondering. If the fields were organizes vertically, and a few in the middle were invisible, then the gap would disappear?

Just clarifying as I tried the On Format event for my field header and making them invisible didn't work. No errors, but not working. All fields are in a vertical format.

Tried seeing if maybe this was only meant for Print View, but it gives me errors when switching to that view and all the fields still show...
