Hi Arthur, I understand the different concepts between group and report footers. What I am trying to achieve is a group footer appearing at the bottom of the last page for each group. It is a positioning thing. Group footers will appear at the end of each of their sections but not necessarily at the bottom of the page (whereas a page footer appears at the end of a page).
