  Hi, all.
  
  This is the code I have in the PrintPage event of my Report component.
  

  var
      Memo : TfrxMemoView;
      nPage : TfrxPageFooter;
  
  begin
  
      inherited;
  
      RichView := TfrxRichView( Page.FindObject('Rich1') );
      nPage    := TfrxPageFooter( Page.FindObject('PageFooter') );
  
      if CopyNo = 1 then
      begin
          if RichView <> nil then
          begin
             RichView.Printable := True;
             nPage.Height   := 2.98;
          end
          else
          begin
              RichView.Printable := False;
              nPage.Height := 0.5;   <------ this has no effect  :blink: 
          end
      else
      begin
          nPage.Height := 0.5;
          nPage.PrintOnLastPage := False;
          if RichView <> nil then
              RichView.Printable := False;
      end;
  end;
  

  
  As you may see, I have in the report a pagefooter with a rich component which I only want to print in the first copy and its is in the report.
  But in the second copy I want to cut the size of the report to print less paper and the size it is the size of the page footer. It is only
  necesary to print on the first copy.
  
  Can this be done ?
  
  Thanks.

  FR's engine doesn't allow to change PageFooter height during preparing of report, place TfrxRichView on TfrxChild band and show it by Engine.ShowBand in the report script when you need

  Hi gpi, thanks again for you tip. Its almost works perfect as my client wants but still got a little issue.
  
  I put the rich component on another band instead of the footer and have a variable that tells the report to or not print it.
  
  The problem is that when the rich has not to be print, the band wether it is, its no printed as I want, but when the rich has to be printed,
  my client wants only to be print in the first copy of 2 the report has. This I can manage to do it, but the lenght of the second copy somehow
  "contains" the rich component without printing it, so the second copy is longer as first but with blank space where the rich component is.
  
  I need to short the lenght of the report in the second copy when the rich its printed only in the first copy. Am I clear with all this ??
  
  Many thanks..

  Hi gpi.. I've tried a lot to do what you mention but could not do it.
  
  I have in the child band after my footer , my rich component plus a bardoce and another box text.
  
  and do this code on the afterfooterprint event in my report

  procedure FooterOnAfterPrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin
    if <CopyNumber> = 1 then Engine.Showband(Child);
  end;
  

  
  is this correct ?? and what if i want to print only the barcode but not the rich or the box text ?
  
  Many thanks for your kind help.

  This is my fr3 report just to help.
  
  As you can see in the final child, the 3 las components in that band are printed according the user needs and if none of them are printed
  I want the report to end in the footer and and not to print empty space..
  
  Am I clear enough ??
  
  Many thankss !!!
