>Correct. Summary prints at the right point in the document, but it needs to be forced to the bottom of the current page. Basically, the summary will include a nice little message and a prompt for a signature. This needs to print at the bottom of the last page in the report. Summary just prints wherever it is in the page.

Hi Paul.

You can do like this if you just want to display text at the bottom of
the last page:

1. Put a field in the page footer. Call a function from the
field ,FUNC("ALIAS"), with the alias of the report cursor.

2. Create the Function and do the following test:
PARAMETERS pcAlias
IF RECCOUNT(pcAlias) = RECNO(pcAlias)
*** You can replace RECCOUNT() with a variable with the number of records
*** if your not using a cursor.
*** Report has printed the last record and the text is returned.
RETURN "TEXT"
ELSE
*** The textbox is empty if your not on the last page
RETURN ""
ENDIF
