Print Group Footer At Bottom of Page

[CJ]

Hi Groupies

I have a subreport in a group footer that I need to have printed at the
bottom of the page. It will not show up on every page, so I can not put the
subreport in the page footer.

I can't believe there is no property to force this to print at the bottom of
the page!!

Is there some way I can force this to happen?

If the group footer can grow, then I dont think there is a
way to determine where it should start.

Even if it can't grow, there is the problem of how to deal
with the situation where the footer won't fit on the same
page as the last detail section. Here's a KB article that
purports to explain some ways to approach the problem:

I don't think that approach is precise enough and modify it
to use an extra, very small, blank group footer that is only
used to advance the position on the page.

Thanks for your response Marshall. That KB article is a VERY SCARY thing!!!

It would be much nicer if Microsoft added a property that allowed you to
specify
that the object print at the bottom of the page......Crystal Reports can
accomplish
this very, very easily.
