The information given doesn't make sense to me. How can you possibly have a report footer before anything else? The image makes me think there is a section grouping with totals, or maybe even a group footer with totals. Don't know which because I can't tell if the project details are in a page header or group header. If so, the solution might be to move the totals to the report footer.
