Print at the end of the page

edited April 2002 in General
I have a big report with a dozen subreports. In the 'main' report, I have a
group that starts another page. In the group footer, I need to print a sub
report (dynamic height) at the bottom of the page.

Now, I'm able to print the subReport in the group footer with correct data,
but it prints immediately after the 'main' detail band, wich is sometime in
the middle of the page. I need to print it at the end of the page.

I tried to put the subReport in the FooterBand, setting the visible property
to true only if it is the last page, but it seems that it is impossible to
have a dynamic printheight.

Can I make the FooterBand's height dynamic?

Is there a way to specify where to print the groupFooter ?

I'm using RB 6.03 with D5 Pro.
Thanks for your answer.

A happy RB user.

    The group footer has a PrintPosition property (accessible via the Position
    option in the popup menu). Set this to the absolute offset from the top of
    page forcing the band to print on the bottom of the page. The Group Footer
    is always static height and will always be aligned to the bottom of the
    page.

    The last sentence was meant to say:
    The Footer is always static height and will always be aligned to the bottom
    of the page. (not the Group Footer).
