I love VFP report writer. I felt I could do anything until now.....

We have a disclaimer that prints out with certain reports. We had it as a separate report, but we had no idea if the user clicked the print button from a preview and couldn't force a disclaimer out with it. I thought I had the solution by using the summary band to just print the disclaimer evertime. This is good in theory.....

First problem: VFP prints the page header on the Summary Page!!!! Why???????? The header of this report happens to be about 1/3 of the page and would take up to much room. Our disclaimer is a full page.

My solution: Check page number on every single object I set the Print When to not print on the summary and remove line if blank. YEAH! I thought I had the thing whipped and loved the report writer again. until.......

Second problem: When I run the report it say's that the summary band is larger than a page. LIAR!! Actually I think VFP added the size of the page header to the size of the summary band even though the page header on the last page doesn't spit anything out because of all my Print Whens. Now what????

I did find out that the title band prints without the page header, but the summary band does. At least it's consistent!! I suppose I could print out the diclaimer in the title band, but who wants to see the disclaimer as the first page in a print preview!!

help......
