Conditional page breaks in a long report

[Gresford]

Hi
Is there a simple way of associating a page break with a control, so that if the control (in this case sub-report) shifts to take the place of another 'shrunken' control, the page break moves with it?

I have a series of sub-reports each with a page break directly after it. If the data for a given sub-report is blank, I'm making that sub-report invisible (and making its associated PageBreak invisible), and its Shrink property is set to Yes so that the next sub-report slides up to take its place. Unfortunately, although the remaining sub-reports are sliding up fine, their page breaks seem to retain their original position, and so start cutting the report in weird places.

Any ideas how to get round this?

Gresford,

Why use page brakes? Make your subreports as thin as possible, put them together and put ForceNewPage property for the footer of subreports to After Section.

ps: It works but debuging this thing may be a nightmare . Its usefull if these reports dont change often.

Just tried this. But the ForceNewPage property in the sub-reports is being ignored - in fact all the Page/Report Header and Footer sections in the sub-reports are ignored - and only their Detail sections are included when the main report prints. Is there some way of affecting this?
Thanks.
