Hello,
I work in the Finance area and we have auditors looking at our reports to see who made modifications, when what type of modifications were made.  I think is known as a Developer's Notes page.  I do not want the page to render when a user runs the report.  How do I prevent that from occurring?

 Create a new variable with the expression 1=2. Apply that as a render variable to the Developer's Notes page.

Thank you CognosPaul!  That worked!!

The next question is "What does the expression do?"

The expression always returns a False result, as 1 is never equal to 2. This means the render variable it drives never causes the Developer's Notes Page to render.

Cheers!

Meep!
