Is it possible to put a textbox on the footer of your data report?

We're making an MIS for a grocery store. Our professor tells us to put a "Prepared By: Employee Name" at the footer of the data report. i see that rpttextbox can only be placed inside the body of the report. is there any other way to accomplish this task? thanks. . .

You can place textboxes in any part of the report - including the footer. If you look at a report created by the automated Access report wizard you will see that the current page number for instance is created as a textbox within the report's footer.

You can simply drag a field from the field list of the report into the footer section, assuming that you have got the footer on view on the screen in design view at the time.
