I'm attempting to move the address line to the bottom of a crystal report.  I have a detail section in the middle of my report.  The detail section can have one to many rows.  The reason for the move of the address line is so we can use a stuffer for mailing purposes.  How do I keep the Name and Address fields from floating to the bottom when by detail section is growing?

This may not work for you, but, if you group, you can limit the number of records in the group, by doing that, you can force the address to appear after X number of records.  Also, if this is not suitible, can your details flow left to right in several sections ?
For example,  limit a group to have only 3 records appear in the Details section, regardless of the number of records there are in the group?
Resolution: Use the following method:
1. Insert a section below on the Details section so that there is a Details A and Details B.
2. Create the following formulas:
@Formula1
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar Number := 0;
@Formula2
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar Number;
Number := Number + 1;
3. Place @Formula1 in the Group Header. Format the formula to Suppress.
4. Place @Formula2 in Details A. Format the SECTION (not the formula) to Suppress.
5. Format the Details B section to conditionally Suppress by selecting the X+2 button INSTEAD of the selecting the Suppress box. This launches the conditional formatting Formula Editor.
6. Enter this formula:
{@formula2} > 3
When you preview the report you will only see 3 records per group.
