I want to make sure that I understand you correctly. If there are less that 10 records in the detail you want to make sure that there are blank sections up to 10. For example, if there are only 7 detail records, you want 3 blank sections, correct? I'm going to assume that you have at least one group in your report. Try the following:
1. Create 10 group footer sections just below the details section. Format them as if they were blank details sections.
2. Create a formula that will count the number of details records. I'm going to call it mailto:%7b@DetailCount - {@DetailCount }. It will have a format like this:
count({unique detail field}, {inner-most group})
3. Go to the section expert for the first group footer that you created. In the Suppress formula put the following:
mailto:%7b@DetailCount - {@DetailCount } >= 1
For the second group footer it will be:
mailto:%7b@DetailCount - {@DetailCount } >= 2
And so on for each of the 10 sections. This will suppress the blank section so the only ones that appear are for rows where you do not have data.

The steps that I gave you will take care of that issue for you. The formulas I gave are fairly common types of things that you will need to do in Crystal and they're not that complicated. The one thing I forgot to mention is that when you enter the Suppress formula for each section, do NOT check the "Suppress" check box. This way the section will will appear unless the condition in the formula is met. -Dell ------------- Proviti, Data & Analytics Practice http://www.protiviti.com/US-en/data-management-advanced-analytics - www.protiviti.com/US-en/data-management-advanced-analytics |

Actually, it's not "sir", it's "ma'am"!  Don't worry, that's a common mistake!

If you have lines in your details section, make sure those lines are in the extra sections too, etc. Basically this means do whatever you need to so that you have the same format without the data.
How is this not working? What results are you seeing?

There is no way to adjust it if the details go to two pages. Group footers will always appear right after the section they follow and there is no way to adjust that. You might be able to do something using a page footer, though. You'll have to look at the suppress/not suppress and whether you're at the end of the group. Use the NextIsNull() and Next() formulas (in that order!) to determine if your at the end of the group - it looks something like this: NextIsNull({table.group field}) or {table.group field} <> next({table.group field})
