Larry,
I did a brief test, and indeed the PAGE STYLE band is the first one evaluated, not the last. It is evaluated before the page header for every page, and even before the report header on the first page. Therein lies the rub. It would not appear that you can control the visibility of components on the page style based upon data anywhere on that page.

The BEFORE GENERATE should also be impacting the current iteration, based upon variables/data values in place before the band is evaluated. So the question now becomes "What is the order of band evaluation?" I thought the page style was last. I must be mistaken.

If I calculate in AFTER GENERATE, aren't a determing the visibility for the NEXT time this band renders, rather than the current page? -- Larry
