INF: How to Make Report Footer Print at Bottom of Last Page
'Article ID: Q119783

Creation Date: 23-AUG-1994

Revision Date: 01-DEC-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 2.0, 7.0, 97

SUMMARY

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

The report footer is printed at the end of a report, immediately following the last section in the report. Because it immediately follows the last section in the report, the report footer may not be printed at the bottom of the last page. This article describes a method of printing the report footer information at the bottom of the last page by including the information in a page footer and making the information visible only on the last page of the report.

MORE INFORMATION

This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to your version of the "Building Applications with Microsoft Access" manual.

NOTE: Visual Basic for Applications is called Access Basic in Microsoft Access version 2.0. For more information about Access Basic, please refer to the "Building Applications" manual.

The following example demonstrates a method that compares the Page and the Pages properties to determine if the current page is the last page of the report, and if so, makes the information in the page footer visible.

  Create a new report and place the following label control in the report's page footer section: Label: Name: ReportFooterText Caption: This is the last page Visible: No   Create the following text box control in the page footer section: Text Box: Name: PageNumber ControlSource: =[Page] & " of " & [Pages]   Set the page footer's OnPrint property to the following event procedure: Sub PageFooter2_Print (Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) If Me.page = Me.pages Then ReportFooterText.visible = True Else ReportFooterText.visible = False End If     End Sub
