I want a label or an unbound text field, if that's the way to go, to not
show up under certain conditions. Can I use the "conditional formatting"
menu item to do this?

1 - There doesn't seem to be a visible/invisible choice, just
enabled/disabled
2 - Conditional formatting seems to be disabled for label controls. But if
I use an unbound text box, I can't put the text in it, as it causes a
dialogue box to show up at run time.
 
I put the text for the unbound text field in the control source enclosed in
both single and double quotes, but I still get the input dialogue box when I
run the report. Ideas?
 
I neglected to pu the = sign in front of it.

else,
which means you have a problem with: 1. another control on the form 2. the
record source for the form 3. one of your conditional-formatting
conditions
