Re: How to refer to a certain Group Field

Hi Matt,

You'd need five variables - one for each Group Name.

Place this formula on the Details section:

If OnFirstRecord then

(

     shared booleanvar grp1 := false;

     shared booleanvar grp2 := false;

     shared booleanvar grp3 := false;

     shared booleanvar grp4 := false;

     shared booleanvar grp5 := false;

);

     If GroupName({Group_Field}) = 'First Value in the specified order' AND {Tracking_info} = 'Track Value to be searched' then

     shared booleanvar grp1 := TRUE

     else If GroupName({Group_Field}) = 'Second Value in the specified order' AND {Tracking_info} = 'Track Value to be searched' then

     shared booleanvar grp2 := TRUE

     else If GroupName({Group_Field}) = 'Third Value in the specified order' AND {Tracking_info} = 'Track Value to be searched' then

     shared booleanvar grp3 := TRUE

     else If GroupName({Group_Field}) = 'Fourth Value in the specified order' AND {Tracking_info} = 'Track Value to be searched' then

     shared booleanvar grp4 := TRUE

     else If GroupName({Group_Field}) = 'Fifth Value in the specified order' AND {Tracking_info} = 'Track Value to be searched' then

     shared booleanvar grp5 := TRUE;

Assuming you have five text boxes (each with names of the five groups), you need to add a conditional suppression formula that refers to the shared variables.

For e.g. Text box 1 that has the name of the first group, would use this formula:

shared booleanvar grp1;

Text box 2 would use:

shared booleanvar grp2;

and so on..
