Hi Guys HELP

I have a report that is one report for many product group and depending on the type of product group it display the apprpriate heading, in a group for the details. If there is not an entry for a certain paremeter then the heading does not appear. but if a contract has 10 items say, and the top five dont have coil id entries but the bottom five do have coil id then the heading doesnt appear because it picks up the first value whcih in this example is Null. How do i get to look at each any of the coil id to see if any of them have a value in them and if so the display the coil id heading.

I have tried to put a visible=false field in the details but my condition is i a group above it. so it doesnt pick it up.

Does this make sense??

Thanks

It is not normal to hide column headings when the column is optional. What is the harm in having it always visible and just how much programming are you willing to do? The column headings appear in a group or page header and MUST be formatted perforce before the detail lines of a section or page or they could not be printed first. I know nobody uses dot-matrix printers anymore but the concept is still the same. A report is produced one line at a time.
