Is it possible to suppress a subreport that is within a main report by using record selection formulas / booleans (true/false scenarios)?

For example:
If IsNull({database.field})
Then
True
Else
False


Any help http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1684911# -

You might be able to but as to how depends on the specifics of your situation.

Are you suppressing based on data in the main report or the data in the subreport?
Where is the SR located in the MR?
If you can give more specifics someone should be able to give a more specific process.

Thanks DBlank.

I created parameters instead for users to choose specified subreports to run.

I configured the parameters as booleans and then set them up to suppress or not to suppress the subreports within the main report.

This was a better work around vs trying to apply the logic inside the subreport level. This still created lots of blank space which I did not want in the final report.
