In Crystal reports, you can set a property on a footer section to
overlap the section above.

With this featrue, you could do the following:
You could have a count in a group footer section aligned vertically
just to the right of the filed that is in the detail section above it.
If you set that footer to overlap the section above, the count would
show NEXT to the last recorfd of that group.  This way, you don't need
to have an extra line for the group total.

Is there a way to do this in Access reports?

I find so much information on overlapping controls, that I can't get a
good search on this question.

Any help would be appreciated.
