Does anyone know how to show a table border when the cell is empty? I don't want to put a character in the same colour as the background.

Click on cell in question and go to Insert > Special Characters > Non-Breaking Space

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

Great, thanks, worked a treat.

I know about putting a non-breaking space character into a cell to make the cell appear not to be empty, but if I'm pulling the data from a database into a repeating region, and several of the fields are empty, how can I code it to put in the &nbsp; if the cell is empty? any help would be greatly appreciated.

depending on your app server, a simple conditional statement should do it:

(non-code)

if &lt;recordset empty&gt; then insert &nbsp
else
print &lt;recordset data&gt;
endif

or something along those lines?

I've got a Windows 2000 Server with IIS5. I'm using ASP with VBscript

how would I check for the recordset.Fields.Item("item".Value to be empty?
I tried an IF...Then...Else... and it seemed to not like the way I put If recordset = " " then ... else.
how do I reference it to be empty or blank?

thanks for the help.
