hi,

is it possible to use 2 different footers in a classic report with different layout, where one footer is shown if a certain condition is fullfilled and the second if the condition is not fullfilled? i develeoped it using currreport.showoutput and in general it works, but the problem is, that both footers are always rendered (the invisible footer is rendered as empty space), means the report reservers the needed space for the invisible footer. so an unwanted second page is printed. is there any solution for that?

What is the main difference between your both the footers? Is it major or minor?

You cannot have two footers but you may try adding two integer dataitems and display your footer in the body sections of those and based on your conditions.

I believe that the only way to achieve this was the way you already did, spacing issue would be there. If it would be in NAV 2013 or later then you might be lucky.
