I think there might be a way of doing this by hacking the frx. The trick would be to create a temporary report each time from your original with or without the title depending on the external logical condition. It seems like the entry for the title band has OBJTYPE=9 and OBJCODE=0 and the pagebreak field would have a .T. if you require a page break. The title contents has OBJTYPE=5 and OBJCODE=0, although you would need to further identify it because header and footer have the same codes.

You can find more info about the frx table structure under the filespec directory of your VFP installation (you probably have already been there if you considered hacking the frx).
Hope this helps.
