	Having a little trouble visualizing but I think you would need a shared variable from the subreport and then use that to suppress or also conditionally have new page after instead of always doing the new page.

	Hmmmm I tried the shared variable set up.... it didn't seem to work.... but then again i probably set it up wrong.... basically what i'm trying to set up is. Xtab report (RF-a) if within this xtab a SEE NOTE result appears then Sub-Report (RF-b) will show the results on the note. I have the SEE NOTE part set up for the sub-report. so if there is no see note the sub-report's blank.

	BUt you always are getting the page break and hence a blank page when no sub report, correct? Do a conditional page break the same way you have the RFB conditionally suppred. It should only break if "SEE NOTE" exists. If you ever have an instance where there is SEE NOTE and no subreport then you would need the shared variable to know to do no page break if there is no SEE NOTE or NULL sub-report. Is this more in line with what you needed?

	Yeah.... I was trying something along these lines.... but I probably screwed up somewhere in the process.... I'll re-attempt it in a bit.

	I don't use variables too much but I think you will need to create a RFc and palce the shared variable there. It has to be done after the sub-report. Also make it a constant POSITIVE attribute instead of a negative or NULL. You can make the page break only on an AND statement. Easier to control that way... *SEE NOTE exists AND shared variable= "X"*
