Larry:
Okay, if I only have a page footer located on my report (no report footer)
I see that it starts at the bottom of the page. Perfect, no problem. I am
somewhat confused that the dynamic/static height is greyed out and I
see that in Position, the print position is also greyed out, so I guess you
have no options.
Now I put in a Report Footer, just locate a label with the word "hello"
and it appears ABOVE my page footer! If I click on the RF, and pick
"position", I see it has put a print position of 9.5 in there.
I change the 9.5 by one .1 at a time and it stays on TOP of the page
footer until finally at 9.9 the page footer stays at the bottom and it
pushes the report footer to a new page all by itself!
Could you please try this? Put just a page footer on a report, verify
that it works okay, then add a simple report footer? How in the heck
do you get the report footer to print below the page footer, and hopefully
not on a piece of paper all by itself!

The page footer prints immediately above the bottom margin of the report.
Exactly how high up the page it starts depends on the height of the page footer
band. It will start at (PageLength - BottomMargin - PageFooterBandHeight).
The report footer will print immediately after the last "other" band (detail or
footer if there are any footers).
Prior versions of R:Base did not work this way -- they would print the page
footer immediately after the data (unless you specified a page footer line
through trial and error) and the report footer would actually appear after the
last page footer.
To my way of thinking, the new version is an enormous improvement over the old
one -- I don't have to explain to people any more why I cannot locate the
report totals immediately under the columns of numbers they are totalling.
