Try placing a break point in these events to be sure the system variable's

You can adjust where the summary band prints on the last page by setting its

The process in which data is accessed in ReportBuilder coincides with the
underlying architecture of the report engine. To change this would require
a major design change in the engine itself. Changing the order t…Hi Leonel,

Yes, ReportBuilder simply sends commands to the Windows API which in turn
sends commands to your printer driver. I can't guarantee exporting to PDF
and printing from Acrobat will work, but it's worth a try.

You may need to play around with it a bit but try using the Band.BeforePrint
