Sections and Subreports Question

[Jill50]

I am trying to insert a subreport into the report footer section of a main report (CR 8.5). The subreport happens to be a full page report itself that needs to be in a section other than the detail section (report header/footer or group header/footer). When I run the main report, the report footer section that the subreport is in will only grow to 2/3 of the page and puts the rest of the page of the subreport on a new page. Is there a vertical size limitation on the report footer section of the main report or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Do you have a page footer section on your report ? Is it the case that the report footer is using up the rest of the space on the page ?

Trying creatin a Page footer b and place the sub report in their, then conditionally suppress this section using

Not OnLastPage

The main report already has pagefooter sections a and b that are conditionally suppressed depending on recordnumber because the first page of the report only displays the first 10 detail records and if there are more records than 10, they are displayed on the next page, but some page footer information is displayed on the first page only with the first 10 detail records.
I don't find an "OnLastPage" function in CR 8.5, only "OnLastRecord" - is that available in 9?
Thanks!

Sorry, the function I meant to use was OnLastRecord.

Thanks for your response! I have decided that the conditional suppress stuff on the page header and footer sections is what is messing things up. It's like the report footer section is allowing room for the page footer even though it is suppressed.
Thanks again!
