Woooooo......  It works with grand summary :)

It was my worst fear beacuse I told the biggest boss of all that this 
would not be a problem for Filemaker. We needed a front page, 107 pages 
and a back page and I said No problemo......

Re: Title footer won´t show



Would that MY worst fears were so benign! ::-\

It's a "Title" footer, not a "Trailing" footer.

There are two ways I can think of the putting data at the end of a 
multipage document:

1. You could use a Trailing Grand Summary part to at least have it print 
at the end of the data, if not locked to the bottom of the last page.

2. Probably more what you envision: put it in a regular footer part and 
then conditional format the content to only show up on the last page. 
Before you print/display it, do a Go To Page [ Last ] and put the page 
number in a variable. Then set your conditional formatting to show/not 
show (white vs. black) depending on whether the current page number equals 
that variable.

Others may have other ideas, but lay your fears to rest: you CAN do it. 

Just not with a Title Footer part.

Thanks Richard :) 

You have confirmed my worst fear. Was hoping to use the part to display 
the last page of the document.... hopefully they will fix this in the next 
version :) 

Regards, Aki

Dear all. 

I have a missive report in Filemaker 11 with Title header, header, body, 
footer and title footer. 

Everything works fine except that for some reason the title footer does 
not appear in preview mode. 

Any ideas? 

Regards, Aki 


IIRC, the title footer appears at the bottom of the FIRST page, not the 
last page as I would have expected. Where were you looking for it? 

It's possible that the other parts take up so much space that they push 
the title footer outside the print area. Try shrinking the one with the 
most room to spare and see if that helps.
