Want to exclude a data field from export if selected records of that data field contain zero (0) values. When previewing the data field is conditionally removed but not when exporting. Suggestions?____Randall

Are you saying that you^re trying to exclude the whole line when a particular field is 0 or only that field from the line?____Any field on the line will be exported regardless of its value. My experience with line logic for a whole line is that it works as expected.____How is your report structured?

If in all database records a data field is not populated I want to exclude that data field in the exported records.

You might be better off creating a calculated field that handles the logic within your export line:____field1: Chris__field2: Strasser__field3: 40__field4: 4/18/1979____expline ==> field1 + ", " + field2 + ", " + str(field3, 3, 0) + ", " + dtoc(field4)____then you^d get__Chris, Strasser, 40, 4/18/1979____on your output line. If one of these fields was blank, the result would be (say)__Chris, , 40, 4/18/1979
