In Crystal 8.5, you can test Previous(field), for more than one field if necessary.

The easiest way to know the suppression status of a record/field is to create a variable that holds the value.

For instance in the formula that originally sets a field to suppressed add

global booleanvar suppressed;

change suppressed to true if the suppression formula derives to true.

You will need to intialize suppressed in the report header, and figure out where to reset it to false..

I think that should give you enough to get started on.
