  Use Engine.ShowBand(Footer) in script code.
  
  DetailData1OnAfterPrint:
  if DetailData2.DataSet.Count = 0 then
  Engine.ShowBand(Footer)

  Thank you for your fast answer.
  
  I hoped to solve it without a script because scripting is difficult
  to explain to our customers, who want to change reports.
  (All in all FastReport is easy to use.)
  
  Maybe you can think about the following proposals for one of the next versions:
  
  1. The footer could get an additional property for setting the parent to which
  it belongs (footer.Parent=MasterData) .
  
  2. Now, a child-band is printed directly after the parent-band even if there are
  detailbands in between. E.g the report
  MasterData
  DetailData1
  DetailData2
  Child (for MasterData)
  is printed as
  MasterData
  Child (for MasterData)
  DetailData1
  DetailData2
  I solution for my problem could be, if the order of the bands would be kept.

  Did you try set DetailData.PrintIfDetailEnpty to true ?

  DetailData2 has also a header with the caption "Disagios".
  If DetailData2.PrintIfDetailEmpty is set to true then the header is printed too
  although there are no disagios. If there is no header then it would be ok.
  
  I found a another way, but not an elegant one:
  
  Header : "Agios and Disagios"
  MasterData1: agios-disagios-dataset (recordcount is always 0 or 1 - having or not having)
  Header : "Agios"
  DetailData1: agios-dataset
  + 100,00 $
  + 200,00 $
  Header : "Disagios"
  DetailData2: disagios-dataset
  - 100,00 $
  - 50,00 $
  MasterData2: agios-disagios-dataset (same es MasterData1) : "Sum of ... [Sum]"
  
  It seems to work, but it is difficult to explain to customers.
