form footer like report footer

[qwertyjjj]

I have some reports which lay my data out perfectly.
For example,
Report header
Page header
Details
Page footer
Report footer

Now, I'd like to have exactly the same layout on some forms but with various buttons, etc. for manipulating data.
The only problem is that when I put something on the form footer, it appears at the bottom of the viewable screen area no matter whether the detail area should overrun or not ?

Is this due to form size or something else?
Ideally I'd like to have it appear right at the bottom of the form and allow the user to scroll down the form to see the footer.

This doesn't seem to allow any rom for expanding the form size when the Detail section has lots of data in it?
A lot of users might be confused by the scroll bar, which only moves the Detail section. Are there any other ways round it ?

If this is a continuous form, maybe you could use a listbox to show your data and it would be visually less confusing.

Hope this helps.

However, with a web page, the footer would automatically be put right at the bottom after all the Detail.
In this form, the only part you can scroll through is the Detail section. The footer is at the bottom of the viewable screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to dynamically change the height of the form like you can with a webpage or report?
