Hi,

I have a field in the footer of a sub report in that I want passed back to the main report. I then want to evaluate that field in the group footer on the main report to surpress

example field footer  in subreport is eventondos
the subreport runs in the detail section of the main report
I want to surpress the group footer on the main report  if the eventondos ='yes'

Just not sure how to pass it on to the GF on the main...

Sorry for the confusion

Thanks
Joe

shared variable in teh subreport.
declare the variable in both the subreport and the main report the same way:
shared stringvar anEvent;
 
set it in the subreport:
shared stringvar anEvent;
anEvent := {table.field};  //or whatever is appropriate
 
evaluate it in the mainreport:
shared stringvar anEvent;
anEvent = "yes"  (in the section expert supression formula)
 
you just have to run the subreport prior to trying to supress the group footer.
