I'm using access and would like to add a footer containing my name
An Access database is not a document. It's not printable, and it doesn't have
footers. An Access database is a *programming environment*, a complex
structure containing (any or all of) Tables, Queries, Forms, Reports, Macros
and Modules.
What type of object are you trying to develop to contain your name? A
(printed) Report object? Fine, Reports have both Page Footers and Report
Footers. A Table? No can do; tables aren't designed for printing and don't
have headers or footers.
More info please!
