SUBFOOT and FOOTER: Conditional Display of Data

July 02, 2008, 04:07 PM

Hello all,

I already searched the forums and couldn't find anything related to what I need to ask, so here goes!

I have a report where I display the page number at the bottom along with some other text (call it DISPLAY1). On the last page, I need to display some totals; easy enough, I can just use ON TABLE SUBFOOT.

I also have to have a legend that appears on only the last page of the report, above the page number and DISPLAY1, and below the totals.

One of my thoughts is to have the legend be part of the SUBFOOT and just play around with line breaks to get it to look pretty.

Is there a better (read: cleaner) way to do this? Is there a way to have something conditionally display in the FOOTER without counting pages and making a macro that plays off that?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the posts and help all

I missed those threads; I'll make sure I search more throughly in the future.

I was thinking about PRINTPLUS, but since I need the totals, that kind of knocked it out of the running.

Thanks again !
