>I am trying to get some specific calculations off of items sold in a POS system and print them on a report. Unfortunately, because these calculations vary greatly on several factors... it would be next to impossible to put them in the small EXPRESSION field in the report writer itself. In addition, trying to store them in temporary variables during the actual criteria step of the report call would be nearly impossible as well... to many factors control what needs to be calculated.

To expand Ed's solution. Put a textbox on the form with expression MyFunction(). Let your function to return empty string. Add remove if blank option to this textbox.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
