Invoice Style Document

edited July 2004 in End User
I'm trying to produce an invoice type document, where there is a series
of line items with a total (value stored in db) printed on the bottom of
the last page only. What is the best way to achieve this? I've tried to
position the page style feature, and set the PageStyle property to
LastPage (however, this will then not print if there is only a single).

I had it working by dynamically change the height of the footer
property, associated with the group at run time, BeforePrint. However,
this isn't working any more.

Any advice, would be fantastic.

Regards,

John Kennison

    Hi John,

    If you would like to print something on the last page of a report, try using
    the Summary band. By default, the summary band will print just under the
    last detail band/group footer of the last page. You can use the
    PrintPosition property of the band to move it to the bottom of the page if
    you like.

    Note: The TppFooterBand acts as a Page Footer and is the only band in
    ReportBuilder that you cannot position manually. Space for this band is
    allocated before the report is generated.
