info on page footer
hello, i have a problem with page footer on fast report 2.5.
I have prepared a invoice report and I have added a Page footer.
The problem is that when I set the property OnLast Page to TRUE on every page the page footer canvas appear empty but I would like it to not be visible at all.
How can I display the footer just on the last page having the footer canvas disappearing having this space available for additional items in the invoice.
Looking forward to your answers,
thank you in advance,
giucar

First, I don't think it can be done.
Second, TBH, why complicate your life? If someone is using pre-printed forms and the invoice requires 2 pages then everybody accepts that the space for the page footer on the first page cannot be used for anything. Why should it be different when using FR?
Maybe it is possible to write some code which can produce what you want but I am certain that no end-user will be able to understand it, because it would have to involve some look ahead and probably a three-pass report, something that just isn't available.
My philosopy is to design reports which the end-user can understand and modify if necessary.
IMO, it is just not worth the effort and future pain to do something like that.
