category continues on next page

[martie]

I have a report which gets printed as a pdf. It contains several categories - the category name field is in the leading subsummary part, the break field is the category name. Very often, the body of any particular category continues on the next page of the report. I have put the category name field (along with "cont'd.") in the header as well with the condition that it not print on the first page. So far, all is good. When the category at the end of the first page continues onto the second page, the top of the second page shows the name of that category cont'd. However, sometimes, the categories do NOT break across pages. How can I formulate a condition so that the header category name (with 'cont'd.') does not print (ie, is white text) when the page starts with a new category? I tried using Self but couldn't get it to work. I was thinking maybe the Evalulate function might be what I want.....

seems like this would be a useful function...

maybe I am trying to re-invent the wheel?

thanks for any help,

Martie
