Columnar report, total prints on new page if > 1 col detail
Persistent and very annoying problem here, find no mention
in KB. I solved it in one report, but have no clue how I did it. Perhaps someone here will have the solution! I generate many different client lists, often using 2-3 columns, and usually need a count at the end of the list. If the report detail only uses one column, the total (Report Footer) prints at the bottom of the column. If the detail moves onto the 2nd column (at least in a 2-column report, perhaps in a 3-column report as well, definitely if it moves into the 3rd column), the report adds a new page, prints the page header and report footer on the otherwise-blank page. I need the report footer (text box using running-sum "counter" text box in the detail as its data source) to print at the end of the last column, presuming that column isn't full. With the report I "fixed" it seems that monkeying with column widths and margins in the Page Setup led to the desired result, although I may have changed properties elsewhere as well. I'm hopeful you'll set me straight! -Bob |

The report footer spans the entire width of the page so it can not appear under any one column (unless there is only one column). You should use a group footer since group header/footers are confined to the column width. This is easily done by specifying a top level group (View menu - Sorting and Grouping) with a constant expression such as =1 and specifying Yes in the group footer property. Now you can move the total text box from the report footer to the group footer to display the total at the bottom of th elast column regardless of how many columns you're using. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access] |

Awesome! I knew it had to be something obnoxiously simple!
