I feel like I'm playing Myst and I can't find Atrus!

Because I'm stuck in Report Writer and I can't find the clue to how this particular report is designed!

It's the "Check With Stub on Top and Bottom - Graphical" report. Our Controller has asked me to eliminate the duplicate remittance area that's printed at the bottom of the 8-1/2" x 11" page.

What's completely baffling to me is why and how the fields in the Body are duplicated at the bottom of the F2 - Check & Hdr footer.

I've made the duplicate block of text and data fields "invisible" that normally prints below the Vendor address lines... but the block of data fields continues to appear. Again, it's the same information that appears in the Body of the check; that is, the list of voucher numbers, dates, and amounts.

The Report Layout for the report shows the fields in the Body section... but there's nothing I can find -- no property, no menu option, no setting -- that says something like: "Repeat Body data at the bottom of the F2 footer".

Besides that, the F1 - Totals & Comment footer prints in two places as well: under the Body and under the "echo" of the Body data in the F2 - Check & Hdr footer.

In the report's "Report Section Options", I can change the number of "Records Per Report Body" in the Check & Hdr Footer Options... but that shrinks up the vertical spacing of the check... and it reduces the number of records that print in both the top and bottom stubs.

And, boy howdy! If I set the "Records Per Report Body" to 0, then both the top and bottom stubs have 0 Body records.

What is the secret that I'm missing?

After struggling with this for a while, I thought to myself, "Self! Maybe there's a 'Check with stub on Top - Graphical' report and you could simply add the signature image to it and you'd be done!" Well, no such luck. There's a "Check With Stub on Top" report... but it isn't graphical. Ack!

Any clues? How can we use the "Check With Stub on Top and Bottom - Graphical" but have it only print the remittance on the top and leave the bottom part blank... not voucher numbers, no check totals, nada.

Help, please, while I'm still sane?
