suppressing sections based on values in other sections

[crystal82]

I have a report that contains one group and two subreports sitting underneath that group.

The subreports are suppressed (in the main report) if there is no data in them.

However, I am trying to suppress the Group Header + the Group Footer if there is no data in the subreport.

I have tried suppressing the GH1 and GF1 sections if values passed from the subreport are 0, however this applies the suppression to the next group, not to the group that I am trying to suppress.

Is there a way around this?

If the sub reports execute quickly you could add hidden versions of similar Subreports in another Group Header Section. These then generate Shared Boolean Vars to suppress displayed sections if no data found.

Make sure the section containing the new testing SRs is kept as small as possible and set to underlay following sections.
