Page footer on last page only

rbuser

I'm fairly new to ReportBuilder and am struggling with what was a simple
concept in a previous reporting tool. I'm creating an invoice report that
lists a large header on each page, followed by details, totals and a memo in
the summary, then a signature line. The the summary is NOT marked Align to
Bottom because I want it flush up against the last of the details. But the
signature line has to be on the bottom of the page--but the last page only.

I looked through the messages here, but there are so many threads that talk
about summary bands and sub reports and sections and footers, that I gave
up--I'm sorry if the answer is here already.

One idea I gathered in my study was to use a Page Footer. But since this
prints on EVERY page, I added a BeforeGenerate event and checked the
report's PageCount comparing it with PageNo during SecondPass. Alas, only
the first page gets touched again on the second pass, so this didn't work.

I also tried various combinations of sub-reports, but have decided to quit
stumbling around and just ask for help!

Any suggestions?

I'm using RB Std v. 11.07 on Delphi 2009.

Hi David,

Something like the following should work for a two pass report inside the
footer band BeforePrint event.


if Report.SecondPass then
Report.FooterBand.Visible := (Report.AbsolutePageNo =
Report.AbsolutePageCount);

Beautiful!

I was so close--I was doing that exact thing, but in the BeforeGenerate
event instead.

Thank you.
