I don't remember if 8.5 had "Running Totals" and I don't have a copy of it I can look at. So here's two different ways of doing this:
If 8.5 does have Running Total, create one that will count the number of records - I'll call it {#RecCount}. Then, in the Section Expert (right-click on the gray area to the left of the sections and it should be an option on the menu) DO NOT check the Suppress check box but click on the button to the right of Suppress. Enter the following: {#RecCount} > 5.
If it does not have running totals, you'll need to use a variable and a formula. I'll call the formula
{@RecCount} and it will look like this:
NumberVar RecCount;
If PreviousIsNull({table.some identifying field}) then RecCount := 1
else RecCount := RecCount + 1;
RecCount
Note where the semi-colons are and that there is NOT one on the last line! Also, you
may have to put WhilePrintingRecords; as the first line in the formula to get it to work. Then you'll do the same thing in the suppression formula as I outlined above:
{@RecCount} > 5.
