>Is that a workaround, I'm thinking of moving the items in the page footer into the group footer and putting something in the group footer to flush it to the bottom of the page. Only thing is that I haven't figured out that something..

The way to flush the Data Footer to a specific position at the bottom of the page is kind of tricky. You have to create a report variable that counts the number of detail lines printed on the page. You also have to make sure that NOTHING on the page has "stretch w/ overflow" checked because you have to be able to assume each detail line is a certain height. You also have to be able to assume that nothing in the Page Header or Group Header stretches either.

Once you know how many lines printed .. in the Group Footer band ... you can add an object that has an expression as follows:

REPLICATE(CHR(13), 99-rnLines)

where 99 is the total number of detail lines that will fit .. and rnLines is the report variable you defined to count. You also have to make sure that if a certain data group overflows to a second page .. you have to clear the line counter .. although .. if you have a group header .. this opens up another can of worms!!

Like I said .. it's tricky .. but it can be done!!
