Static footer

Ray

I am trying to build an invoice and be able to display the SubTotal and total fields always at the same place at the bottom of the page but i don't know how to do this.

For now, I use the ReportSummary band but the total is displayed just after the invoice transactions details. How can i fix it at the bottom of the page?

By the way, is it possible to display a fixed qty of lines even if there is only one item in the invoice?

Thanks,
Ray

Add it to the Page footer band. That band will be in a static position at the bottom of each page. Hope that helps.

Sorry don't know the answer to your second question.

Generally what cecil suggested is true providing you are trying to mimic a customers preprinted form that has that info on every page produced.
if not use a column footer band
for your second question a lot depends upon what other bands you have used in your report
the general method is to use a child band containg what objects and frames you want and control its visibility and repeats by setting a the values of some variables
and checking the freespace available and as long as the freespace is greater than the childbands height use the showband method.
