supress section and contents

[mart10]

I am using CR10

I have a field within a line box. I want to suppress the field AND the box if the field is null. Supressing the field is easy - Section expert, Supress blank section, but the Box and the detail section still show. How can I supress the whole section if field is null

If you right-click on the box you'll get the option to format. But Crystal 11.5 does not include conditional suppression for boxes. This is probably true for Crystal 10 as well.

You could get the same effect by giving the field a border. Those can be conditional and I'd expect everything to be suppressed for a null.

Use a formula to suppress the section containing the box:

isnull({table.field})

-LB

Thanks LB, actually figured it out myself a few mins back. I await a solution to more complex isue which nobody has answered yet - 'Extract data from Memo field'
