Ah. Yes, of course. Hadn't thought of that.

Although, I still will opt for using the native "Print When True" report function. I'll change it to be:

!empty(table.field) AND File(Alltrim(Table.Field))

The problem with what John suggests is that you run into an IIF() nightmare if someone deletes the dummy image (or the subsequent chain of dummy images built into even more complex IIF() statements to take care of that eventuality).

Thanks for the heads-up Steve.
