Working with Report Header and Footer sections.

Print order for4 sections:

• Pager Header - Prints at the top of each page.  This section can NOT be set to grow or shrink. The Page Header prints before the Report Header/Footer. It is possible to turn off the Page Header so it does not print with the Report Header/Footer
• Report Header - prints once at the beginning. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Group Headers - prints at the beginning of each group This section can be set to grow or shrink. It can also be set to Repeat on each new page.
• Group Footers - prints at the end of each group. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Report Footer - prints once at the end. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Page Footer - prints at the bottom of each page. This section can NOT be set to grow or shrink. The Page Header prints after the Report Header/Footer. It is possible to turn off the Page Footer so it does not print with the Report Header/Footer

When a report is used as a Sub Report, the header and footer sections work differently.

Print order for sections:

• Pager Header - does NOT print. The parent report is responsible for the page header
• Report Header - prints once at the beginning. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Group Headers - prints at the beginning of each group This section can grow or shrink. It can also be set to Repeat on each new page.
• Group Footers - prints at the end of each group. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Report Footer - prints once at the end. This section can be set to grow or shrink.
• Page Footer - does NOT print. The Parent report is responsible for the page footer.

How to create something like a Page Header in a Sub Report

You can create a dummy header .grouping by setting the group on to  1 (enter the digit 1). You can then set the section to repeat. Now you have a  group header that will print on every page.
