Now I've re-read your post and I'm a bit confused. Always print on the last page is exactly what the summary band does. Is your problem that you don't want it to creep up if there aren't enough records to put it at the bottom?

Darn. I was all set to say "try setting all the objects in it to [ ] Fix relative to bottom of page". But that option is disabled for items in the summary band, for some reason. And there's no option for "Put it at the bottom of the page" in the report's Title/Summary dialog. I'd swear there was a box to check for this in 2.x Report Writer. Where'd it go?

Sorry,
Rich.

>Well, you could create a variable just before you issue the REPORT NOCONSOLE and store _PAGENO to it in a one-line UDF called from an object in the summary band. (i.e. make a report object whose expression is SavePageNo() or whatever, and SavePageNo can be Var = _PAGENO, RETURN CHR(0).)

>>However, the _pageno variable does not seem to give the correct page count after the report is completed. In preview mode, the report prints about 4 lines on the second page, then prints the summary band which is about 5 lines long). But after the report runs, _pageno is equal to 1.
