If there's a _PAGETOTAL, forcing a prepass, you'll probably have to do the same thing. Because those events are going to be evaluated multiple times in VFP 8 preview, as they page back and forth, you have to make sure the value of the variable is *always* right.

I have good news and bad news. < g > First, the good news. Your solution works in getting rid of the page footer on the summary when I don't want it there. And surprisingly enough, I didn't need to set the report variable back to .F. in the other bands to get it to work properly in preview. Thanks for the idea!

Now, the bad news. I'm still getting a blank page when I don't want the summary page to print. Although I've checked "Remove line if blank" for all objects on this page, I suspect the problem is the small amounts of white space between lines and bands that's causing the page to print. My current plan is to use a text field with an unprintable character that stretches the full length of each band and has the same Print When condition, along with the "Remove line if blank". If that doesn't work, I'll just always print the summary page, which the client says he can live with if I can't get this to work properly.
