Footer for a Footer :(

Hi All,
I have a footer for a group, in which the last object is a text box which retrieves comments. This comments field is a memo field so the text box has been set to can grow= yes, can shrink=yes.
Now I want a date textbox to be printed just below the remarks. Since the textbox can grow it invariably covers the date text box. Is it possible to have a footer for the footer so the date text box does not get blocked by the comments textbox?

Thanks Solomons
 
What you should be able to do is add a second footer that is the same as you first. To do this on the menu bar go to View...Soring and Grouping. In the Fields/Expression section, select the field that has your comments textbox in it from the dropdown list of fields. Then down in the Group Properties set the Footer property to Yes. This should give you two footers for the same group. Put your Date in the second Footer.

Paul
