Designing the Group Footer

The group footer contains the information that appears at the bottom of the last page of each invoice. Because it appears only on the last page, it will include the Order–Total.

Follow these steps to design the group footer:

  1. Insert the Order–Total field with its label on the third 2GF–Order–num band line.
  2. Move the Order–Total text field so that its left edge is at the 5-inch mark on the third 2GH–Order–num band line, then make it bold instead of underlined.
  3. Draw a rectangle starting at the 6-inch mark on the second 2GF–Order–num band line and ending at the 7.5-inch mark on the fourth 2GF–Order–num band line.
  4. Specify Silver as the rectangle background color.
  5. Position the Order–Total field so that its right edge aligns with the right edge of the Extended–Price field (which is on the second record band line).
  6. Type 123 Runners Circle, Waltham, MA 02154 on the fifth 2GF–Order–num band line.
  7. Center the 123 Runners Circle, Waltham, MA 02154 text string on the band line.

Figure 9–10 shows the layout with the group footer.

Preview the report. Because the group footer only appears on the last page of the invoice, view the second page. Figure 1–10 shows the last page of the invoice with the order total.
