No, that's correct, although under normal circumstances the report footer will appear on the last page of the report, but above the page footer band. Previous versions of R:Base for Windows had a couple of very odd "features" for reports. First, the page footer would normally float around the page, appearing after the last regular text. This could be right near the top of the page if you had a break section that feed pages and had only one or two records in the section. You could get around this by specifying a "line #" (shades of DOS!) to move the page footer to a common location on the page, but even that was a bit kludgy. In addition, the report footer would print _after_ the page footer on the last page. Since I usually use the report footer to show the report totals for columns of figures directly above, it was very strange to see the columns of figures, followed by a bunch of white space, then a line, the page number and date, and only then the report totals. So to my mind, the current behavior is correct and the previous behavior was undesirable. Of course, that doesn't help Karen in her current situation. In another reply to her I posted the only work arounds I could think of. -- Larry
