Question About Underlaying Detail Section

[mblanc]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Underlay Following Sections option in the Detail section of a report, because all relevant data is in group footer sections, but, for some reason, when I run the report, I see a bunch of emptt Details sections between my group footers. Hiding or suppressing details is not an option, because the details section contains a subreport that is used to update totals shown in group footers. Is there anything else I need to do so that my group footers will show one after another? Thanks.

Never mind - I found it. The solution was:
1) put the subreport in its own, non-suppressed detail section
2) suppress all sections of subreport
3) in the main report, select the subreport, then select "Format Subreport", go to the "Subreport" tab, and select "Suppress Blank Subreport".
