I thought perhaps that would be the answer <grin> Solution was to fill the report footer with a region, keep together on. newpage off in the report footer.
If there is room for the summary it will print, otherwise it goes to a new page. One of these days........

This is 7.6 I can't find where to set the componentid for the report footer. I tried right clicking but the options available do not include the componentid.

Syntax: PROPERTY <ReportBandComponentID> <SpecificBandProperty> 'value' Here's how: 01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (Build: 9.1.2.10214 or higher ...) 02. CONNECT dbname IDENTIFIED BY owner password 03. REPORT reportname 04. While in Report Designer ... Right-click on Report Footer Band Select "Component ID" and then type "ReportFooterBand" 05. Use the following syntax as "Before Generate ..." action. Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate ... -- Report Footer Band as a new page PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage 'TRUE' RETURN 06. You could also use the same code a dynamic value, such as: -- Report Footer Band as a separate page IF (CHKVAR('vValue')) <> 1 THEN PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage 'FALSE' ELSE PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage .vValue ENDIF RETURN WHERE vValue is pre-defined as a global variable, prior to PRINTing such report. If 'TRUE', the Report Footer Band will be printed as NewPage. That's all there is to it! Have fun taking advantage of all coooooooool developer's tools in R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (32/64). Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
