Supress Formulas

[sforeakertsc]

I have a variable called "counter" in a formula. When counter is > 20 I want to supress certain fields in the record from displaying.

Since Crystal says all it's variables are Global when using Crystal Syntax, I figuered a simple "Counter > 20" in the fields suppress formula would do the trick...but the formula errors out.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,

Steve

What type of error are you getting?

I use exactly what the logic you are talking about all the time to supress records, EXCEPT I use running total fields and not variables. Having said that I think either should work.

I solved this. The issue was that I did not declare the variable as global in the original formula (becasue Crystal says all Crystal Syntax variables are implicitly Global), and I was not declaring the variable in the second formula.

Once I declared it in both formulas as global, then the simple:

counter > 20

formula worked great!

Thanks for the reply.
