Hello,
I have a section that is going to be underlaid.
However, I want this section underlay to happen ton only one section.
For example, if I have Page Header A, I want this to be underlaid only to Page Header B, not C,D,E and so on.
Please help!
 
You would have to stretch Page Header B vertically so that the underlay doesn't extend beyond it.

In design mode, grab the border with your mouse and pull down.

What if that section is detail section?
Is there a formula that I can use for that?
Because if you stretch the size of detail every row gets stretched...
 
Are you trying to underlay only for one specific detail row? Why? Please explain what you are trying to do--maybe underlaying is not the best approach. Or maybe what you need to do is use the "can grow" feature. If you have an object in detail_a that grows, and you want to underlay section b only, you could add the same object in detail_b and format it to can grow and then change the font to "white" or whatever color wouldn't show.

I have a section in Page Header E that is going to serve as a background for detail if record number of detail is less than 10 (it's like a box)
What I want it to do is not invade to the report footer so that box does not includes content in report footer
 
So the problem is on the last page of the report, if there are fewer than 10 records? Would you want the report footer moved down to the equivalent of 10 records, or where you hoping the box would be shortened to the number of records on that last page?
