  if this is a multi design page report, use the onbefore print event of the page to set the page's visible property according to the datafield value, where and how you retreive and store the value
  is up to you Without more information cannot be more specific.

  Hi Gordk,
  
  It is a simple page report. But 'start a new page' is set on the MasterDataBand.
  I've already tried the visible property of the page report, but certainly not at the right place.
  There is no TitleBand. The MasterDataband contains the title and the companies address.
  
  Here is a piece of my code :

  procedure MasterData1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin                 
                
    if not engine.finalpass then
    begin
      //* do not print the page if company's type is 'CPAM'                                                                              
      CPAM := (<dmTP."OCPAM"> <> 0);  //* dmTP = external dataset linked to the masterdataband
      //Page1.Visible := not CPAM;            //* I've tried that
      if CPAM then                                  
        //Engine.StopReport                       //* and this
        Report.Terminated := True                                                              
      else                          
      begin
          ...
  

  
  I hope it's usefull to understand.
  
  Thanks again
  Jez

  hide the mdband by setting it's visible property in it's obp event.
  
  masterdata1.visible := not (<dataset."fieldname"> = 0);

  I didn't said that there are other bands (1 groupheader, 2 detaildatas, 1 groupfooter and 1 pagefooter)
  The masterdataband is not visible but not the others.
  Even if I put the same code for each band (GroupHeader1.Visible := MasterData1.Visible;) in their obp event.

  it is very hard to try to help you when you don't give all the information.
  if you can please post a demo project in the binaries news group.
