formatting a letter with cristal reports

[Alcar]

I am filling in a letter report based on some data received from the database. I have a bitmask number wich will determine wich forms are needed. Eg:

dear <name>,

we are missing some crutial information for your account. Please provide us with:

X Form A1
X Form A2
Form A3

Thank you,
Alcar


The first idea would be to put an X in front of the elements I need.

The second Idea is to eliminate the elements not needed to complete the letter.

the field I am looking to is something like this:

1 - form a1 needed
2 - form a2 needed
4 - form a3 needed
8 - form a4 needed
etc...

any good suggestions on how to build the right formulas to obtain such behaviour?

Thanks in advance

I would suggest try using multiple subsections each with a form in it and conditionally suppress the subsections based on form needed.
if you are just trying to place a X in front of a text field, use conditional suppression on an X text object that would suppress based on whether the criteria was met or not
