like paulmorris said...go to the section expert and bring up the suppress formula for the details section. Enter a boolean expression that is true when you want to suppress, such as...

isnull({someFieldThatIndicatesTheDetailsWillBeEmpty})

If you right click on the Details section while in Design view you can choose Section Expert and then specify a formula which, if true, will suppress the Details section. (You don't say which Crystal Reports version you have, these instructions are for v10.)

You could use this formula for example:

count({detail_field},{group_field}) = 0
