Absolute position of control in report

Is there any way to programatically set the absolute position of a control in a report? I have a detail section which could vary in size. In the section footer, there's a field that I would like to always print in the same position
 
By design (and I don't know any other way to design it), a Group Footer
always follows all the Detail Records for that Group. Within the definition
of a Detail or Footer section, Access does not move Controls horizontally,
but if you have used the CanShrink and CanGrow properties, can adjust their
vertical position depending on data.

So if you want a Control in a Footer to occur in the same position relative
to the Header, you must have either no detail sections for that Group, or
you must have exactly the same number for each group value, and they must
not use CanGrow/CanShrink.

The Page Header and Page Footer Sections are "stable" in regards to position
on each page -- perhaps you can use one of those to accomplish what you
want. Or, perhaps I have not understood what you are asking. If so, please
clarify.
