Hi

Create a formula and place it in Details Ac where sub report prints on the main report like:

Flag = 'y'

Now create one more formula like :

Flag ='n' // Place this formula in Details Ad

Now right click on page count --Format-- suppress and say

If flag = 'y' then true else false

What Sastry didn't mention is that you need to create a variable to do this. So, your formulas would look something like this:

{@Flag_Yes}
stringvar flag := 'y';
' '

{@Flag_No}
stringvar flag := 'n';
' '

(the last line with the blank string is there so that noting appears on the report when you use this.)

Variables have to be declared in every formula where they're used. Using them like I show above, without any modifier (e.g., Local, Shared, Global) makes them Shared so that they will share values in all places in the "report" where they're declared (Main report OR subreport, but not between the two...)

Your suppression formula will then change to this:

stringvar flag;
flag = 'y'

You'll notice a couple of things here. In the first two formulas I used ":=" to set the value. When using variables, you use ":=" to set the value and "=" to compare. You'll also see I didn't use an "If..Then" structure here. If an expression evaluates to true or false, it is redundant to use "If .... then true else false", you can just use the expression itself.
