Hello,
 
I have a report with 2 subreports in the group footer. The group and subreports are variable in length, depending on the number of months chosen.
Can the second subreport be printed directly under the first subreport, independently of the size of the first? In other words, can the position of the second subreport be linked to the bottom of the first subreport, wherever that bottom may be? Thanks!

This is actually fairly easy.  Create a second group footer - right-click on the gray area of the footer at the left of the screen and select something like Add Section (I'm on a computer that doesn't have Crystal installed so I can't check the exact wording!)  Put your second subreport in the new section.  Since the sections expand to fit the data, this will guarantee that your first subreport won't overwrite the second.

That is indeed a simple solution, and it works just fine. Thanks!
