Is there anyway to tell what section I am in (detaila, detailb, etc)

[SBendBuckeye]

I have a subreport which prints in 1 of 2 formats depending on a parm that is passed. I want to put 1 format in report footer b and the other format in report footer c.

What is the best way to pass a parm to the subreport in this context?

Thanks in advance for the help!

If it's on, turn off the default linking behavior (whereby Crystal attempts to match the parameter with a column inside the subreport).

Then use the paraemeter inside the subreport to control the suppress attribute of the sections (so that one is suppressed and the other is not depending on the parameter value. You simply create an expression for the suppress attributre that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE depending on the parameter value.
