Page footer suppress / print detail

[jenlion]

My accounting software prints all current invoices as one report. Because of this, I cannot do standard report header/footer things -- they would only print before the first and after the last invoice.

I have added calculations to do page numbers (if previous invoice # is different, start renumbering pages, etc). Pretty much everything is working except the remittance slip.

Invoices will be printed on paper that is perforated 2/3 of the way down the page. This lets the customer tear off the bottom third and mail their payment with it. Top 1/3 is general invoice info.

Trouble is that that leaves only 1/3 of the page, in the middle, for details. Some invoices then are 9 pages long (and could get longer), with the remittance printed on every page. I can suppress the remittance on most pages, but then the bottom 1/3 page is just blank on every page except the last once.

Is there any way to extend the detail section down to the end of the page except on the 'last page' of an invoice??

You didn't describe the report layout, so not sure what you're starting out with. But, I think you could group on {table.invoice} and use the group header for information specific to each invoice, and then use the group footer for the remittance form. In order to get it in the correct position on the last page of the invoice, go to format-> section->group footer and check "Print at Bottom of Page." Then you could suppress the page footers on all pages if you wish, so that details can fill the pages, and size the group footer to match your remittance form. You would also want to make a page break after each group footer.

For future reference, and depending upon your version of CR, you should be able to go to format->section->group footer and check "Reset Page Number After."
