The detail section (Tire, Pot, etc.) can be 1 or more lines. And this is put into a group.
I put the Total into the group footer. HOWEVER, the Total has to be printed at and exact location, about 1/3 from the top of the page.
How to print group footer at a determined location? Because, to my understanding, the group footer will be printed at relative position depending on how many lines appear in the detail?

to the best of my knowledge, there is not a way.
what comes after group footer or do you waste 2/3 of a page? what if the details take more than 1/3 of the page?
you can try making the group really big and having it always print at the bottom of the page, but if there are other items to print, I am not sure how this will work.
Maybe someone else knows a solution, but as far as I know, you're right and Crystal will print it relative to the details section.
so there is no way to count the lines printed, and put a condition? well I do not know that is why I am asking in the first place. I thought Crystal Reports is powerful and should have taken this kind of condition too?

if you have a group, you can count lines and conditionally apply the new page before, or you could add up the sizes of each section/lines and do it that way, but it is not 100% fool proof.
Exact placement is not really in any reporting tool. Reporting services doesn't have it as well. I think that most reporting tools are designed to group and print large lists of data.
