texte = Hi Everyone,I have a question I was hoping one of you might be able to answer... We have a database that is comprised of information from different companies, the fields are: name, url, email, phone, fax, and description. Now, not all records make use of all the fields, for example a record for a company might have phone, fax and email, but no URL, while another one might have a URL and email but no phone or fax. Now the fields that don't contain any info, are simply blank. Now here's my question, I need to format my results page to deal with this problem. I need to either insert N/A automatically for the empty fields, or have them simply be ignored(i.e.leave no empty space). Does anybody have any suggestions?Thanks, Jose A.
