Conditional Page Break

I have a report with a page break set in the GroupHeader band. Right now it is set to break on data field Encounter.Doctor (table.column name)

There is an option to choose Expression below the Data field option. Can I insert a conditional page break here?
I have a keyvalue from a ComboBox to use in the expression.

I basically need the following IF statement but do not know how to get it into a code that Fast Reports can read. Is there some pascal code or another technique to acheive this?
If :DBLookupComboBox1.keyvalue := 'QQZ' Then break on Encounter.Doctor
Else 
    break on Encounter.Clinic

    Use Engine.NewPage in report's script

    David the normal method would be to call engine.newpage in the obp event of the header

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm reading about engine.newpage right now. If I place it in the header, can I make it conditional depending on the value of the combobox? Do I need to store the values of Encounter.Doctor
    and Encounter.Clinic in variables and then call engine.newpage when there is a change? I've done something similar in other languages.

    I have two comboboxes. One is to select a doctor. The other is to select a clinic. If the user selects a doctor and makes no selection in the other combobox, the report lists all clinics for that doctor. If the user selects the clinic and leaves the other combobox unselected, it lists all doctors for that clinic. It is currently set to break on doctor in the GroupHeader under the section where you can choose datafield or expression. I'll reword my question above. Is there a way to choose the datafield to break on depending on the value in a combobox? Or, will I have to write code to keep track of the values printed and then call engine.newpage when there is a change in value? (that would be clinic or doctor depending on the combobox selection)

    in the dialog with the combobox write code to set the groupheaders condition.
