Can someone please remind me how to add another report footer to the bottom of my report.I know if I add another group, I will have a new group header and group footer but that's not what I want. I want to just add a second report footer at the bottom. Then I will have RFa,RFb.This is all to do with having learned how to share information between subreports and the main report using variables.But to get it to work, I put my subreport into my Report Header(RH).Not only is that location unacceptable from a visual perspective (yes I know how to hide it but do not wish to), I need my subreport summary number placed directly above where I call the variable in the main report for a columnar (subtraction operation)layout.I think the best solution is to add a second Report Footer.How do I do this?

 
In the designer, where you "write", the report. On the design tab,, place your pointer,. on the left side bar,, watch how your pointer channges,, and click and drag open another footer.. it is almost a "feel thing". You get report footer a, and report footer b.
 
OR
In the designer, where you "write", the report. On the design tab,, place your pointer,, on the left side bar, over the current Report Footer (in the gray area) then right click and choose 'Insert Section Below'
 
Thank you everyone for your help.My report is complete and came out great!I have now been initiated into the world of shared variables.Thanks again.
