Last page of report not printing

edited February 2004 in General
Hi,

I am using ReportBuilder 6.03 & Delphi 5.

I have a small label report where I need a footer to be printed only on the
last page. I cannot use a summary band as I want it to be printed at the end
of the label and not at the end of the Report.

I tried setting the visibility of the footer band by using something like
below on the before print event.

ppFooterBand.Visible := (Report.AbsolutePageNo = Report.AbsolutePageCount)

This does not work in all cases depending on the no of records in the detail
band. In some cases the page count is 3 and only 2 pages are printed (with
all information on the detail band being printed on 2 pages) with the 3rd
page which had to print the footer never printing.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA
Srikumar

    Hi Srikumar,

    Try creating a group around the labels and using the group footer rather
    than the page footer or summary band. The group footer will only print at
    the end of the group so you won't have to worry about setting its
    visibility.

    Hi,

    I can do that but it will be just something like the Summary band as it will
    print immediately after the detail records and not at the end of the page as
    I want.

    I want that info to print consistently at the last line of the page (page
    footer ideally) irrespective of the no of records.

    Cheers

    Hi Srikumar,

    It is possible to position the summary and group footer bands on a page
    using the PrintPosition property. If you are printing to an 8.5" x 11"
    piece of paper, you could set the PrintPosition of the summary band to 10
    and it will print at that position on each page.
