Force to Bottom of page

I have a text box as the last item on the report. It's just above the Page Footer. I want this textbox to always display at the bottom of the last page of the report. I can't seem to find a way to force this.

All help is appreciated.

Is there no way to do this? Is that why I've had no response?

You could move the text box into the page footer and use a visibility expression:

=iif(Globals!PageNumber = Globals!TotalPages, false, true)

Thanks for the response.

That is a good thought but the textbox contains a Paramater to the report which could be a multi line string. The textbox will grow with the string but the Footer doesn't seem to dynamically grow. And the size properties on the footer do not allow expressions.

Is there a way to force the footer to grow and shrink with the size of the objects in it?

Footer with a dynamic amount of Textboxes with dynamic Textbox Properties

Hi!

I have to create a report with an footer that has different layouts. This depends on a parameter. So for example the parameter is "1" there must be 4 Textboxes with a special location, font, width, height, text and so on. If the parameter is "2" there must be only 2 Textboxes. If Parameter is "3" ... and so on

Does there exists a solution for my problem?

Thanks in advance!Hi! Here I am again...

The following ideas are failed:

- Creating a subreport in footer (tried to trick the UI -> using XML Code->failed with preview)
- Delete the footer and put a table on the bottom of the body with a subbreport that includes the different textboxes (this is not a really footer)
- using a picture with a picture format of a pdf file (doesnt work) or a vector picture (unfortunately bitmaps or jpegs are rendered in bad quality in pdf)

My idea would be the following:
- putting the max amount of the needed textboxes in the footer and create for each Textproperty a switch statement that depends on the parameter
for example: TextBox property width: =Switch(Paramter="1", "10cm", Parameter="2","2cm")
and this for each each TextBox property.

This is a circumstantial way in my opinion.|||has nobody an idea for my problem? Or can someone suggest me another forum?
