How to hide a group header when the footer is on a new page ?

Hello everybody,

I'm relatively new to BIRT and I need to reproduce some Ms Access reports with the BIRT API.

In my old report, I had several group summaries that appeared on a new page each time. But in those summaries, the group header did not appear.

When I did the same with BIRT, I see that the group header does appear before my summary on the new page. How can I make hide those group header, without hiding every group header ?

Do you have an idea ?

Hi Leinad,

I'm not sure that you'll be able to do that without using some sort of a workaround with an interval group or something. As far as I know, the header repeat is either on or off. It's only created once and then just repeated. I don't think there is any way to hide it on specific pages at this time. I could be wrong though. I'll let you know if I find anything different out.

Thank you for your reply Michael, 
 
I was able to fix my problem by switching the header in a lower group level. 
 
It seems that I don't have to take directly a value of my group level for it to appear before each details: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
grp1 : group on col1
grp2 : group on col2
grp3 : grou on col3
Header : Col1, Col2, Col3
Detail : col4,col5,col6
Footer : Sum(col4),Sum(col5),Sum(col6)
Footer : Sum(col4),Sum(col5),Sum(col6)
Footer : Sum(col4),Sum(col5),Sum(col6)
</pre>

Exactly what I meant with the "interval group or something" line...:)

Thanks again ! 
 
I thought that the groups were working like in Ms Access, which means I had to show the group column in its header or it doesn't appear at all (or repeat itself without changing ...)
