Dynamically Hiding Sections

[jms8142]

I am using Crystal 6.
My question is this: Is it possible to somehow reference the page number of specific sections or fields or any objects (once the report has been rendered)? I have a number of sections each comprised of an empty underlined text object (intended as a comments section for users to annotate after printing) with the intention of adjusting the amount of rows in relation to the length of the report so as not to move on to two pages.
I can add the
If TotalPageCount > 1 then Surprises
but this will also hide the sections on the first page.
I would like to refer to each section or text object specifically and check if it is on a page greater than 1 and suppress it if so.
Any ideas?

TotalPageCount refers to the number of pages in the report, and is only know once the report is completly rendered.

PageNumber refers to the current page of the object. and is known as each page is rendered.

However, to get the suppress to happen based on a page number, you have to get to page 2, which is when it starts suppressing, and thus you get blank page each time.

The way to do what you want is to determine how much can fit on page 1, and create a variable counter that resets at the top of each page. When the counter gets close to the limit you start suppressing BEFORE the next page is started. Ken Hamady
