Is It possible to anchor thr Report Footer to the bottom of the page?

I have a report (a quotation) which has included in the Report Footer a copy of "terms and Conditions" and a bank deposit slip - With the aim the customer can take the quote to the bank and make a deposit over the bank counter.

The Deposit Slip needs to remain at the bottom of the page so that its easy for the bank to remove the deposit slip component.

As I have subForms in the middle of the report with CanGrow & CanShrik set to yes I am finding that the Report footer moves according to the content on the page.

How can I force the Report Footer to appear at the bottom of the page?

Rob,

Try putting your quote in the Page Footer instead. This will force it to be at the bottom of the page.

Problem is the Quote can go over two pages. They dont need the deposit slip & terms&Condition s on each page.

I don't think there is Rob, I'm afraid.
You could try playing with the Page Format &/or Print events to see if you could amend things on the fly, but I see no option to anchor the Report Footer section (except to the top of the page).
I would look at an empty (&/or hidden) Label control (or TextBox) and see if I couldn't change its status or contents at Format / Print time to display what you need.

One thing you can do is put the deposit slip in the page footer and hide it if page number is greater than one. The only snag is the subsequent pages will have a blank area of the same size in the footer. (I tried varying the PageFooter height dynamically, but it doesn't seem to work).

This is the code assuming the Deposit Slip is a single label - if this is not the case you can enclose it in a group and make the group invisible in the same way

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
  2. If Page > 1 Then
  3.     Label1.Visible = False
  4. Else
  5.     Label1.Visible = True
  6. End If
  7. End Sub

Hi, I have an Access 97 report that mimics an official UK Covernment Customs document, with Page Headers and Footers presenting static data for each page (logos etc). The report is made up (typically) of several lines of detail data, with a few summary lines at the foot of these. I am (nearly) achieving the right "look and feel" by presenting the line items in the Report Detail section and the summary lines in the Report Footer BUT...

Main report contains one large graph in the detail band (no detail records). Subreport snakes just fine (5 columns) when opening by itself. When I add it to the main report (in the report footer), it shows just 1 column and spills over to 5 pages. I've tried moving the subreport to the detail band: no go. All bands/objects are set to Grow and Shrink. Any ideas?

Most suggestions on this topic recommend to use a page footer and make it visible only on the last page. My problem is that the footer is half of the height of a page which means the detail would show on only the top half of each page with whitepace at the bottom of each page. How can I get the detail to fill each page with my "half page height" report footer at the bottom of the last page? Any suggestions to solve this would be...

On my report I am currently using page footer to display some disclaimer information. No matter how many records show up in the detail section, the page footer is always at the bottom of the page. Is there any way to bring it up to the bottom of the detail section (right below last record)? The report footer works this way, but I need the footer to be displayed on every page, not just the last one.

Thank you in advance for your help on this one. I'm using named anchor tags on a FAQ page with questions listed at the top and answers below; a standard jump-to feature. However, anytime an anchor tag link is used, whether it be a question down to an answer or an answer back to the list of questions, I lose the banner div, a good portion of of my MenuDv disappears, and white space is added to the bottom of my page.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
