Suppress Printing If No Records

Suppress Printing If No Records -
Select this option to suppress the printing of a report if that report does not contain any records.

What does this mean exactly? I thought the report would not print if no records exist, but my report still prints out.

Any ideas?

If you have some details in the report header or footer, those will show unless you suppress them. Sometimes you'd want this - know that the report was run and found nothing. If you do want nothing, you can suppress them for that report - if you set options it will apply for all reports and also may fail if someone else runs it.

To suppress a section, right-click on the section and choose Format Section. Then choose the formula icon (x+2 and a pencil) for suppression.
Test isnull({your.field})

It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options.

Suppress printing if no records means the report will show no display--just white space. If you don't have that checked, you could add a message like:

if isnull({table.recurringfield}) then
"No Records"

But in either case the report (blank or not) will still "print". I don't know how or if this option affects scheduled reports.
