I am trying to do a "stationery" type report with letterhead on page 1. I can do the top part of page 1 with a report header. Is there a way to limit the page footer to just page 1. I just don't see anything in the page footer properties for accomplishing this.
 
Hi,
The only way I can think of doing this is by conditionally suppressing the page footer by using the following formula in the section expert:

not (PageNumber = 1)

Therefore it will only show the page footer when the page number equals 1 and suppress it for every other page.

Hope this helps

Cara
 
Right click on your page footer and go to format text
click on the x2 box to the right of the suppress (do not check the suppress check box)
then type the following formula:

PageNumber > 1

this will supress the footer past page 1

Good Luck
