Hi,
If there is not data for a particular section then the ISNULL() works fine. The problem is when there IS NULL for a section and a column called MEM005 which is varchar(max) is displaying that we get the extra spaces. The subreport is only displaying 1 row when there is data. It is the MEMO005 (varchar(max)) that is causing the extra white space when there is enough real text.
I hope I have given you the data with this report.
Thanks,
Dick
