hi,

you could try to dock your fields to the left and hide empty fields.

best regards,

i think you are going to fast for me.

The field are hidden with a condition but they won't shift.

oops, dock left is wrong. you have to dock them top.

ok, 2 solutions:

1) place your text fields (1, 2, 3) in different bands and set the band canshrink and the textfield canshrink property to true.

or

2) set the property 'dock' of your text fields to top - it behaves as docking in a .net windows form. set the canshrink property of your text fields to true.

both solutions should work - unfortunately i can't test 'em right now.

best regards,
