How do I hide a group header when using group footer for summary info

[jlyons]

I've seen some posts related to this issue, but most are at least a few year old (if not several years) and I was hoping there’s a cleaner solution than creating subreports.

I have a report that is using 2 groups and the detail band:

Group 1: Section header (title)
  Group 2: Section header (column titles)
   Detail (section data)
  Group 2 footer (hidden/unused) 
Group 1: Section footer (group summary)

The first group is showing the title of a class in the header on each page and showing a summary chart in the footer. The second group is for the column headers for the detail list which should also show on each page that contains data. The footer for group 2 is not used.

This works as expected with the exception of the last group. For some reason, the group 2 header (column titles) ends up on my group 1 footer (summary) page, even though there’s no detail to display. My group 1 footer page should only have the group 1 header (section title). 

Again, this only happens on the LAST group when the report is run. Everything else before that displays fine (no group 2 header on the group 1 footer).

I messed with all of the checkboxes, but I can't figure out why this last group displays incorrectly.

Thanks in advance!
