Report footers

I have a problem with my report footer, when the report consist of more than one page I dont get the footer to stay on the bottom of the page.
I have tried to use the page footer but then I get the text on every page not only the last one which I what.
Anybody with a good tip on how to solve my problem??

The Report Footer prints after the last Detail line, not necessarily
at the bottom of the page.

If you have data in the Report Footer that you wish to only show at
the bottom of the last page, here is one method to do so.

Make your report as you normally would with the Page Footer and Report
Footer.

Make sure there is a control set to = [Page] & " of " & [Pages] in the
Page Footer. You can make it not visible if you don't want to show it.

Then for each control you wish to display on the final page footer,
place an unbound control where it should display.
Set each of these controls Visible properties to No.
(Do not disturb the controls you want to normally display at the
bottom of each page.

Next code the Report's Page Footer Format event:
If [Page] = [Pages] Then
[PageFooterControlName1] = [ReportFooterControlName1]
[PageFooterControlName1].Visible = True
' Do the same for each other ReportFooter control you wish to show
in the Page Footer.
End If

If you have other controls in the page footer that you do not wish to
display on the final page, set them to Not Visible in the Page Footer
event.

You must leave enough Page Footer Height to print these controls.
I see no reason you can't stack these controls on top of your regular
page footer controls and turn Visible properties on and off as
required.

Next code the Report Footer's Format event:
Cancel = True


Then code the Report Header Format event:

[PageFooterControlName1].Visible = False
' Do the same for each other Report/PageFooter control you wish to
show in the Page Footer.

The Report Footer information should display at the bottom of the
report where the Page footer normally does.
