Default Report - Don't print the page footer on the last page

Duhhhh!!!.

Thanks to all the help I did find several ways to get the job done. Report
Footer unfortunately doesn't print at the bottom of the page.

Page footer worked but I didn't want all the information to appear on every
page.

I placed the objects (information and signature blocks) that I needed to
appear only on the last page in the page footer and set visible property to
NO. I then set the event procedure

Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As
Integer)


If [Page] = [Pages] Then
[SignatureBox].Visible = True
[AccepteeSign].Visible = True
[SignDateBox].Visible = True
[SignDate].Visible = True
'enter all the invisible items that you want to turn visible
[InfoBox].Visible = True
[InfoLabelBox1].Visible = True
[InfoLabelBox2].Visible = True

End If

End Sub

While this did add some white space to the page footer, approx 1.5" it was
preferable to having the report footer printing one line under the detail
section.

I find that not being able to specify where on a page I want a section to
start printing (or end) is a bit of a headache. It definietly isn't straight
forward and easy.

Using an Event Procedure to make objects/fields visible in the page footer
did work.

Where do I find that? I can't find where to set the page footer propery. I
can go to the property sheet for the page footer but is not there. ??? I'm
confused.

I only want the report footer to print

The page header must print on each page.

The report is for a donation report. Grouped off donation Id, can have any
number of items on each report 1 to xxx,xxx,x though the maxiumum so far is
25 items. which rolls the report to 2 pages.

The report footer contains a signature block and also the same line as the
page footer.
Page footer (="Print Date: "&Now() ="page" & [Page]&" of "&[Pages]
Set the Report's Page Footer property to
Not with Rpt Ftr
You'll find it on the Report property sheet's Format tab.
