I want a text box label in a header section

[Guest]

I have a report with a header section containing a detail section. I want to
add a new text box to the detail section with a label above it in the Header.
I try adding the control which gives me a label but I cannot move the label
into the header how do I do so?

Select the label control in design view and cut it to the clipboard. Then
select the page header section and paste it in. Move it to the desired
position and edit its Caption property if necessary.

Thanks. I've tried that and It has worked to a point. Now I want to bind the
label to the control so that they move together. As if they were in a tabular
layout.

Sorry, I should also have said the report has a level of grouping and the
detail is what I want to be tabular within the group.

It doesn't work that way.
Once you have cut and pasted the label into a different section it
will no longer be associated with a text control.

First, manually align the 2 controls.
Then if you wish to move both together, select both.
Now if you move one, the other will also move.

If you simply want to move them together in design view then just select both
with Shift+Click and move them with the mouse or the arrow keys.
