Access 2003 forms

Hello,

I am working on a form in Access 2003. There is a text field that when left
blank will display a (0) on the report. Any help will be appreciated. I
don't know if it matters, but the input is a number.

Thanks

Set the default value as 0 then in VBA statement
If Field.value = 0 then
field.visible = false
else
field.visible = true
end if

I don't think I explained my situation very well. Is this what I would do to
avoid the (0) being displayed. Is this the only way to stop this (0) from
being displayed when nothing is entered. Is there a way to do it within
Access.

Thanks for the help.

Check the default property of the field in the table. Access has a nasty
habit of setting the default property of a number type field to 0 and not
telling you about it.

Also check the default property of any controls bound to this field.
Sometimes the control Default property also gets set.

Thanks for the advice Steve. I tried taking a look at the field properties;
but it didn't help. I guess I am going to have to study the VB statements in
order to fix this problem.
