The Report Footer band prints all objects located within its boundaries once per printing of the report. The Report Footer band is often used for summary information that only needs to be printed once, at the end of the report, rather than on every page.

Height
Specifies the height of the report band. The Height is expressed in unit of measurement defined for the Report Designer (e.g. inches, millimeters, pixels).

Print Position
Use the Print Position property to declare the vertical position on the page where the band should be printed. The Print Position is expressed in report units. If the print position of the report is beyond the Print Position of the band, then the report advances to the next page and attempts to print the band again.
Note:
If Print Position is used for a detail band, then only the first detail band of the page uses the position with the remaining detail bands printing below the first.
ð Visible
The Visible property determines whether a report component will be printed
