Problem with repot layout

Hi,
I'm in the process of designing a report and am having a few problems
with the layout. What I need is a header on all pages but footer on
only the first page. I managed to accomplish this by hiding all the
textboxes on the footer if the current page global variable <> 1. The
problem is that the footer still takes up space on the following
pages. I tried placing all the information in the body of the report
but there is no way to know what page I am currently on.
I just can't seem to see a way of having footer on the first page only
and thereafter only the header and detail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to encapsulate all the
textbox controls in a rectangle in the footer, that might conserve a
little space. Sorry that I could not be of greater assistance.

Thanks for you response, but unfortunately I already tried that. The
problem is that the footer takes up about half the page which is why
it is only required on the first page. The document conforms to a
certain legal requirement required by my company.
Thanks again.
