Question : Print report footer on first page of report

Is it possible in a ms access report, to print the report footer on the first page of the report instead of the last? I need text just on the bottom of the first page, and I don't have room to fit it in the detail area of the report.

Answer : Print report footer on first page of report

On a sample report I added to the Detail section a text box named txtPage and set its ControlSource to =[Page] (it will display the page number). This text box can have its Visible property set to No so it won't display on the report.

I then added an event procedure to the Detail section OnFormat event. When the report is run/viewed the procedure will display the page footer only on the first page and make it not visible on all others.
