Right now I have to waste an extra field for each button I want to make visible if another field is not null. For example, I use an invisible gif in text2 (0.gif) if there's no info in text1 and a visible link (1.gif) if there's info in it, and this has to be set in FileMakerPro before hand using a calculation. Having a conditional in WC would free up many more fields and simplify administration.-Greg
