SubReport - Page Footer/Report Footer

[NMiller007]

I am trying to create a report that needs a graphic outline with a small graphic box at the bottom. I've gotten the report to work fine on its own by putting the small bottom graphic in the page footer of the report.

Now, I need to add this report as a subreport into the report footer of another report. I can no longer use the page footer section of the subreport.

I tried to use the report footer section of the subreport for the bottom graphic, but that doesn't work. I believe it is because I have text boxes which are growing when the report is run. Since I have lines going down the side to 9.25" (where they meet the bottom graphic), I think the blank space is being forced down when the text boxes grow.

Here's a quick diagram of what my graphic looks like on the subreport:
______________
| |
| |
| Details |
| |
| Blank Space |
|______________|
|* Footer *|
|______________|

Those lines are an actual outline I want to appear on the report. The stars are little logos. Nothing appears in the page footer, except the logos. The blank space is there, so the side lines in the detail section will connect with the sidelines in the footer.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thank you.

I solved the problem by using a subreport and setting up the border and graphics around the subreport.
