Suppressing a page footer

[ddrake]

Hi there,
To preface: Using Crystal 9, SQL2K, Win2K Server.

I'm trying to create footers that will only display on certain pages. Specifically, I have a &quot;blank&quot; footer as footer a and set to underlay all sections thereafter. Then, in footers b - <whatever> I just have some numbers and stuff put in. I have these footers set to be only visible when page number = x. That part works great! I get the underlay and whichever other page footer to put in it's stuff just fine. What I'm having trouble with though is that if I have like 4 or 5 of those footers in the design, it'll show that amount of space in the report (even though they're conditionally suppressed)

Any advice would be enormously appreciated! Thanks!!

How are you suppressing these page footers?

They shouldn't display if you use Right click the footer->
X-2 next to Suppress and enter the formula.

A quick test is to put 1=1 in there which will always result in suppression.

It almost sounds like you are supressing certain fields in the footers rather than the footers themselves...

I don't see the purpose of the &quot;Underlay&quot;

Why don't you just have a series of Pagefooter sections of appropriate size and content and use the &quot;conditional suppress&quot; to enable or suppress each subsection Jim Broadbent
