I want to set a global variable with the customer name of the first detail record.  For each record I want to compare the customer name from the current detail record with the global variable.  If they are the same I want to suppress the customer name.  If they are different I do not want to suppress but I then want to change the global variable to the current customer name.

I have tried the following code in the Suppress section of the customer name field.  Nothing is suppressed using this code though some fields should be.

If OnFirstRecord Then Global StringVar CustName = {BAQReportResult.Customer.Name};

If Not OnFirstRecord AND {BAQReportResult.Customer.Name} = CustName Then
        True
    Else
        False AND CustName = {BAQReportResult.Customer.Name};

Thanks,

Sorry, I should have explained that I am already suppressing some records based on another criteria.  Even though it is suppressing those records it apparently is still taking them into account when I check the box to suppress duplicate names on subsequent rows.  So if the first record in a group is suppressed based on my criteria the second record suppresses the customer name field because it is a duplicate of the previous record.
