shrink white space when object set to not visible

[SusanCoder]

Access 2010. I have a simple form with a header and detail section. In the detail section are three labels, on top of each other but not touching. On opening the form, the Visible property for the labels is set to "yes". On the form under the labels is a button. When the button is selected, it runs an event proc to set Label One to "not visible". All works great so far.

I'd like the white space where Label One was to go away, so it looks like Label Two is at the top of the form.

I've tried setting Can Shrink and Can Grow to "yes" in the Detail section property sheet, but so far no luck. Do I need to refresh the form or something else?



Thanks for your help.

can grow/shrink is only applicable when printing a form. Not sure what white space you are referring to unless the detail section backcolor is white.

It sounds like what you are trying to do is reposition label2 where label1 is? If so then code to move label2 (and 3?) would be something like this

me.label2.top=me.label1.top

ensure label 2 is 'in front' of label 1 otherwise it will be hidden behind label1 (or also include your code to hide label1)

Thanks, Ajax. I tried your suggestion but it didn't have any effect on the space where the first label was. The space blank remained after the object (label) was hidden. Here is my code on the button's event proc. The name of my labels are lblIntroPara1, lblIntroPara2, and lblIntroPara3.

Private Sub btnNextPageIntro_Click()
    Me.lblIntroPara1.Visible = False
    Me.lblIntroPara1.Top = Me.lblIntroPara2.Top
End Sub

perhaps send a screenshot of the form, I'm struggling to understand what you mean

and this

Me.lblIntroPara1.Top = Me.lblIntroPara2.Top

should be

Me.lblIntroPara2.Top = Me.lblIntroPara1.Top

Ah. What a difference a transposed "1" and "2" can make. It worked when I switched the label names on the .top equation.

Thanks, Ajax!
