I have a fairly complex report that averages out to have 3 subreports per page (the subreports are next to eachother horizontally = 3 subreports in a group). The problem is that now I need to insert a legend at the bottom of each page. I have tried making a custom legend using textboxes and lines, but that just ends up being too difficult when you try to account for longer series names spanning 2 lines.

I'm planning on inserting another subreport into the page footer that will have a chart in it that only shows the legend all nice and ready for me to use. However, since the pagefooter subreport will be loaded for every page, I end up with 4 database accesses per page.

Can anyone think of a better way to do this? Am I reinventing the wheel? I just need a legend at the bottom of each page. Thanks for the help.
