Suppress Subreports ver 8.5

Hi - In the newer versions of CR when Formatting Subreports there is an option to Suppress Blank Subreport - I dont see that in 8.5. Any idea on how I can do that?

In Crystal Reports 8.5, the Subreport tab in the Format Editor does NOT have a checkbox for “Suppress Blank Subreport”.

This means there is no easy way to do the same in the 8.5 version.

Try working along these lines …

Add one of the special fields like GroupNumber or RecordNumber into the report. It does NOT need to be seen, so suppress it.

Then on all the report objects … column labels, border lines, titles, etc … do a conditional suppression if GroupNumber or RecordNumber is less than 1. That should effectively blank out everything in the report.
