I hope this isn't a dumb question but I have a report that consists of:
  • Report Header
  • Detail
  • Page Footer
  • Report Footer
When I view or print the report the Report footer always displays before (above) the Page footer. Shouldn't the Report footer always be at the bottom?
Can anyone please tell me how to correct this?

Thanks in advance,
TS

No. That is correct
The page footer is the last item on each page
The report footer is the final item in the 'data' section of your report. It has to precede the page footer (as that is the final item on each page)

You have to write code to suppress the page footer on the page that shows the report footer if you don't want to see it.

How can I get the Report Footer to "precede" the Page Footer? I can't move it up in design mode.

You don’t need to do anything.
As both of us have already stated the report footer does precede the final page footer.

If for some reason you want to have the contents of the report footer as the final item, you either need to use code to hide the page footer on the final page or include your report footer items as the last line in the final page footer. Both are possible but it isn’t the normal approach. Is it really worth the effort?
