Group footer spacing

The section you suppress based on values from shared variables must be below the sub report that returns the shared variables so you may need to rearrange what is in headers vs. footers and use multiple group footers - that being said, you could return a booleanvar easily from the sub it seems based on approrpriate values and then create an additional group footer in the main report (for your spacing) and conditionally suppress that footer based on the booleanvar = false. Make sure you reset that variable in the sub report header as if there are no records, the prior value is maintained. I'm not sure where you were going with using a shared variable in a running total - I try to avoid running totals as they happen whilepringing records and will therefore slow the report down considerably if there are many and espcially since you already had to use a sub report which is generally also a detriment to efficient processing. It's not often that running totals couldn't be acccomplished through summarized formulas (where shared variables can be used if needed). I hope it's helpful..

That helped. I could not set the booleanvar in the subreport, it had to be set based on a total from the subreport compared to a running total in the main report. But I set it there, and suppressed the higher level printing based on it. It worked. Thanks
