SYMPTOMS:
When printing a report in WIMS that includes foot notes (using the FOOTNOTES function) the foot notes do not always appear.
CAUSE:
This is caused by the grid control we use to provide the spread sheet functionality evaluating the cells with the FOOTNOTES function to not have anything to print. These cells only have a formula and may not have any text visible. because of this WIMS does know to evaluate those functions and as a result the foot notes are not placed in the cell.
WORK-AROUND:
The work around for this is to place a space at the same row as the last foot note function. This way the control will see that and consider there to be text below the last foot note function and they all get evaluated, so the foot notes show up.
