Default Invoice Layout - 03-30-2007 , 03:02 PM






Hey all-
I have what seems to be a pretty basic problem. I want to create a
printable Invoice from an Order. This order is composed of LineItems.
So, my printable layout so far is a list view displaying records from
the LineItems table.
Problem: I want the grand total to display at the bottom of the last
page of the Invoice. I can't use a footer, because that would display
on every page, and a Trailing Grand Summary would print directly after
the last LineItem, instead of at the bottom.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
Nate

You didn't state version, answer is based on this version. might work on
earlier ones.
Title footer: Appears only once at the bottom of the first screen or page
and replaces the normal footer (if one is specified). You can have only one
title footer in a layout.

Any fields in the title footer preview and print data from the last record
on the first page.



Keep well, Ursus

Sorry, I'm using FMP ver 8.5 Advanced on Windows.
Thanks for the suggestion, but what I want is the footer (containing
the grand total) to print on the LAST page, so a title footer isn't
going to help me. This seems like a very basic thing to ask filemaker
to do. Not being able to figure it out is frustrating. Oh well, I'll
keep trying.
Thanks,
Nate
