	Hey all, I have a couple of conditionally suppressed page footers that still appear on my final report as blank sections. They end up taking up space and pushing my report onto two pages. Any ideas whats going here? Thanks

	COuple of thoughts... 1. your suppression condition involves NULL values that are not being accounted for so the condition is not evaluated on these records so no TRUE or FALSE is returned at all. 2. the group that is being "pushed" is set to 'keep togther' and is pushing itself onto the next page (rather than the footer)

	Thanks, just checked both your suggestions. 1. The suppression conditions contain no NULL value, and appears to be working (after all the conditionally suppressed sections do appear as blank. I tried making one of the suppressed sections larger to test whether this would change the size of the blank sections and it indeed did get larger. 2. I tried taking of 'keep together' and this didn't appear to help as well.

	in your report designer when you preview the report does the section label appear balnk for these errant areas or does it appear with a label. If so what is the label? Edited by DBlank - 06 Dec 2010 at 8:31am

	These sections appear as blank.

	I believe that this is indicating that your section is correctly suppressed and is a red herring. The real issue is that something else is pushing the next section onto the next page (like the 'keep together'). This option is in multiple places. What is the architecture of your section expert? Do you have Keep group tegther as T or F in teh group expert options per group?

	It might have been. I removed many "keep together", but also checked 'Reserve Minimum Page Footer'. This has seemed to get rid of the extra spaces in the footer.
