Hide a section as in using DHTML to hide/unhide? Try a DHTML group
for that answer.

If you're looking for an ASP-only answer:

IF DBField <> Null Then
Response.Write "Hidden Section"
End If

Sorry - badly written question.

Hide a section as in don't process a section of the page if a DB field is
NULL

Minor correction:
IF Not DBField Is Null Then

or

If IsNull(DBField) = False Then

Bleh! Should stop answering posts at 2:00 am...

Especially since I just ran through an IsNull() programming section
during the day.

You can't "not process a page" because until you process the page you
can't determine if the field is null. You can branch based on it
being null, or else you'll need to use two pages, or try to accomplish
a conditional include, which is more work thatn the system should do.

IF (NOT ISNULL(DBField)) THEN
' Do something
ELSE
' Do Something else
END IF

This works best for me...
