I can understand the greyed out position -- the page footer is the page footer, so it's always going to print in the page footer location. I can only assume that the report generator needs to know the height of the page footer in advance for each page, and that's why you can't set a dynamic height. > 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? Without trying, I believe you. Not only that, but I think that's the way it's _supposed_ to work. The way it used to work in 6.5 wasn't right! Although I'm sure that won't be a great deal of consolation to you if you have something working that way in 6.5 and need to get it working the same way in 7. > 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! I don't think you can do that. Here are two work arounds that I can think of: 1. If it's only one or two things you need to print, set them into variables, locate the variables on the page footer, and then tinker with the variable expressions so that they will always be NULL until you hit the last page. (In this case, the page footer band will need to be large enough to print whatever has to go there on the last page, even though that information will not be visible on the pages before the last). 2. Give up the page footer bands, and intead roll your own, using a break footer band set to change whenever the page number changes (you will have to calculate your own page numbers as suggested by Javier Valencia in a recent post). This band you will have more control of and, on the final page, it will print before the report footer. -- Larry
