Hmmm. Back in the day you could set Page Footer Line Number to 0 (zero) and accomplish the task. I don't know what a group footer is unless synonymous with break footer...I could fabricate a break footer. This is a report that will be generated in virtual (pagemode) space with a summary immediately after the last break footer line then another report to fill in the bottom.

As such, the bottom offset is determined from the bottom margin, and the print position from bottom margin and height of the band. To get the effect you want, you'll need a group footer or report footer. If your report is such that you want running page totals across multiple pages, with the _final_ page total appearing not on the bottom of the page but rather after the last detail line, you'll need to use _two_ bands to show the totals -- the page footer for all pages except the last one in the group, and the group footer for the last page in the group. You will also probably want code to determine when you've hit the last page of a group and make the objects in the page footer invisible in that instance. -- Larry
