Hello CR users.

I am trying to find a way to suppress a detail section based on a boolean value. What I would like to do is have an entire section be suppressed if the boolean value is false. Is there a way to do this? I tried tooling around with If/Then/Else statements, but since "suppress" does not appear to be a function, I am lost.

Tips appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks. I figured out how to make it work there. For any other newbies who reads this and are curious about the same thing, here is the fix I came up with.

I selected all the fields in the detail section I wanted conditionally suppressed, right clicked and selected format field. Under the common tab, I opened the suppression formula window and entered the conditional suppression statement for the boolean field I wanted the conditional suppression based on (ex: {xfield}=true). Then I went to the Section Expert and clicked the suppress blank section button for the details section I was interested in.

Now when the boolean field returns a true result, the entire detail section is suppressed.

I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way to achieve the result I was looking for, but it worked!

Yeah that would have been easier! lol Live and learn. Thanks kevlray!
