Group Header won't print on the top of the page

[Guest]

My report has no page header, a group header with identifying fields (e.g.,
department name and number), and a detail section. When I print, the first
page has just the group header but no detail. The second page has the first
part of the detail, but no header. And the third page has the second part of
the detail (the detail section has a page break in it), but again no group
header.

Help! I think I have tried changing most of the properties and still no
luck...

Set the Group Header's Repeat Section property to Yes.
It's on the Format tab.

If you want each group to start on a new page, set the Header's Force
New Page property to Before Section.

OK... when I do that I get page after page of blank detail data, with only
the group header at the top. It does this when I set the Repeat Section to
Yes. Any suggestions on what could be done?

I doubt if that is caused by the Repeat Section being set to yes.
My guess is that you have the width of the report set just a tad to
wide. The width of the report plus the width of the left and right
margins must be less than the width of the paper.

I made the width smaller and I still have the same problem. What else could
I try?
