<%very ify%> One of those days - 7/26/2006 11:34:08   
I've used this script a million times and it works. Can anyone suggest a tweak? If something is there read it, if not do nothing.
<% IF Trim(rstProverOnly("contactname"))&"" = "" Then 
	'do nothing 
	ELSE
 %>
<tr>
<td class="content" align="left"><strong>Contact</strong> </td>
<td class="content">
<%=(rstProverOnly.Fields.Item("contactname").Value)%>
</td>
</tr>
<% End If %>


Thanks!
Rich

Try this:

Trim(rstProverOnly("contactname")&"")

What specifically is it doing (or not doing as the case may be)? Any error messages?

It ignores the vb and just reads the blank field and title to the page.

So it treats it as if it were *not* blank but yet returns blank results?

If so, why not this:

<%=(rstProverOnly.Fields.Item("contactname").Value)%>

be this:

<%=rstProverOnly("contactname")%>

If not, maybe I'm dense and you need to explain what is actually returned vs. what you expect. :) :)

If the field is empty it should not read the row to the page. The field is empty and it reads the row to the page as if the field had content.

Have you looked at the DB closely?

I have seen situations where there is a &nbsp; writtent to the DB and is *not* a space. Hence it will be not blank but yet write nothing to the screen except a space. Maybe you can view source to confirm that the &nbsp; is not being written or confirm the DB.

Just a guess.

I tried that and it didn't work. In the DB the field value is null.

And this didn't work? (with the &"" inside the parens?)

Trim(rstProverOnly("contactname")&"")

...and will it work if you put a space in that 1 record just as a test?

I placed a space in the field and it did what its been doing to this point. So I went back to the field and did a back space to delete the space I placed in the field. Now it works. But that would mean I would have to change the default value of those fields. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
Rich

How 'bout trying this one instead:

IF (Trim(rstProverOnly("contactname")&"") = "") OR IsNull(rstProverOnly("contactname")) THEN

That any better?

Something is missing. I don't know what but something is missing. There is no reason that my most recent post shouldn't pick that up.

Have you triple-checked for typos?

I just got pissed and printed out all the code and went over it line by line. Turns out I mistakenly hit the paste button and copied the form twice into the same page.

Thanks for helping me through this.
