A customer wants a certain note to be printed at the bottom of certain reports (these are more like forms than reports although they can span over more than 1 page). I think that the way to do it is to dynamically (in code) add a Summary Band to these reports (for this customer). The summary could have a label or a text placeholders that will get the text/value from a .txt file. But how do I add a Summary Band in code?
