Forcing a region to the bottom of a page

edited April 2003 in General
Hi,

I have a report (letter) that could be 1 - 4 pages long depending on how
data and business rules. Anyway in same cases I need to create a payment
slip and place in at the bottom of the last page on the letter if it can fit
or the bottom of a new page. I'm guessing I need to do the test on the
second pass but I'm not sure how to test where the bottom of the previous
region is and if the paymentslip region will fit on the same page?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
OnSecondPass (need to do something like this)

Do I need to show paymentslip region?
If "yes" the find out if payment slip regoin can fit on current page?
If "yes" place at bottom and page else create an extra page and place at the
bottom of that page

------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help on this would be extremely appreciated

Thanks

    Stuart,

    Try placing the region in the Summary Band. Then be sure to set the
    KeepTogether property for the region to True. If this still does not print
    in the place you want, you can adjust the PrintPosition property of the
    Summary band.

    Thanks for that....

    I had make sure the Summay Band was set to static as well then I could
    easily position the Band where I needed it to go.

    Cheers
