Is it possible to suppress an entire band (including the data band)? Effectively set 'Print On' to 'Never', or have a 'Supress' property on a band?

Yes, set its Enabled property to false.

Thanks Brendan, that works..but...
I want the data suppressed so it doesn't show on the print, but the summaries in the group footer to still show.
so I have
GROUP HEADER > want this to print
DATA BAND > don't want this to print
GROUP FOOTER (containing sums of the stuff in the data band) > want this to print
The problem I now have is if I suppress the data band, my sums all come out as zero.
In Crystal Reports (which is what I'm more used to), the supress property would prevent a band showing but code & data behind a band would still execute/be taken into account.
Am I missing something obvious?
Jon.

Ignore that Brendan - just found the Calc Invisible property, all working fine now. Thanks again.

You can also set the Databand's Height property to zero so that it doesn't render anything to the page but still executes.
