Hi

A colleague wants to know if it is possible to put a header and foote
in a table in Access 2007, she used to be able to do it in previou
versions.

I have had a look and cannot find a way of doing it, I know that
report could be setup as a table but she does not want to use a report.

No she didn't. You can have header and footers in a report or form though.

Tables are for data storage.
Forms are for data display and interaction.
Reports are for printing.

Use the right tool for the job!!! Tables do NOT have headers and footers (and
never have). I suspect your friend was either using a continuous Form (which
does have headers and footers and shows one row per record) or a Report.

Thanks for the replies, she has now got round it by exporting to RTF an
puting in Headers and Footers.

I am Shirley's colleague with the table header issue and you are right
I didn't create the table with the header/heading. I presume it wa
made with an earlier version of Access.
But I have the table open in print preview clearly showing a header.

Hi Anne,

By default it shows the table or query name and date on the top and the page
number on the bottom when printing. However I don't know of any way to change
these to put something like a company name up there. You have much more
control with a report.

That's certainly a solution.

.... but it seems like a lot more work than simply using the built-in tool
Access provides, i.e., a Report.

If you don't want to construct a report but want to include a header/footer, just push the table out to Excel.

In Access 2007, open the table. In the External Data tab, go to the Export group and select Excel. The table data will be pushed out to Excel and you can add the header/footer you want easily without messing with a report.
