I too had this problem of blank space showing between sections, and it look quite a few things to resolve it. As the above user mentioned, setting your row height to auto can help. In addition, I found that when you right click on each section and go to Section Properties... the Size tab had a fixed height for my sections. Once that was changed to auto as well, the issue was resolved. Keep in mind that if you set a section to auto and then manually adjust it later, it will go back to a fixed size. So, I advise changing the height to auto last. If there is still white space after that, remove all padding from every cell, section, and control (set to 0 not auto.) Sometimes, even margins can have similar effects on your form; usually I try to only have margins at the bottom of controls rather than on sections or cells. All of these changes removed the white space between hidden sections. Hopefully that helps!

If you use a layout table, you can set rows to automatically determine the height - if you do that, when your explanation boxes hide, you shouldn't have any blank space.

Hello,

I am currently designing a form and am trying to dynamically adjust the form based on choices.

So far I have 4 check boxes and checking each box unhides an explanation section . So if they check 1 box they get 1 explanation box, if they check 3 they get 3 explanation boxes. My issue is if they only select 1 check box there is a large gap where the other explanation section is hidden. I thought of using views but I would need a view for every combination of checked/unchecked which would be cumbersome.

So is there a better way to hide/show text boxes so that if only 1 check box is selected there isn't 3 large empty text boxes sitting there hidden.

Thanks in advance.

Randle.
