I need to hide some of the display fields on my form when certain conditions are true, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this. I tried attr.echo in the before display section, but that didn't work. Most of the fields are strings so I can hide them by blanking them out. However, one of the fields is numeric and defaults in a 0 which will show up on the form. Does anyone know a way to hide display fields.

Thanks

Yea, Baan V+ tools gives you the ability to hide the fields better, but Baan IV is a pain. One thought, since you are already blanking strings....If it's just a display field, try making the field on the form a string, then in the before display section for that field, fill it with the string value of your numeric value - str$(numeric value), then you can control in the script if it's blank or filled. That would be ugly if it's a maintainable field.

Actually, I just realized I was looking at the wrong field. Using attr.echo = false in the before display section worked. Sorry and thanks for the help.

O ok. The hard part in IV I guess would be removing that box on the maintain ones, better luck with the display, good job.
