Layer and condition

Hello,

The Designer manual 4.3.1 says: User variables cannot be used within appearence condition of Layers.
I CAN specify a user variable, but L&L does not respond to the condition

Knowing this, how can i produce a single report, with multiple layouts??

Page 1 is a label (static information).
Page 2…x is a Table of items. (including footer)
Page x…y is a list of names. (different colum content and size then Items)
Lastpage is a summary (static information + a small table)

I can create the layers, but can not control the appearance condition from my application.

How to proceed?

Regards,
Jack Duijf
