how do I actually put text into an Access header field?

[Guest]

I am trying to create a header for the form I am using and would like to have
a header for when each page is printed out (I print each page to Acrobat and
forward it to clients). I can see the header field in the design view, but I
can't get any text in there.

Any thoughts?

You don't print FORMS, you print REPORTS. Build a report and you will have
the controls you need to format it properly.

Your first problem is your least problem: With your form in design
view choose View|Header and Footer.

The real issue is that you should probably be using a Report to do
what you're doing. Forms are designed to be user interface elements
and are optimized for those functions. Reports are optimized for
creating printable output and are far superior to forms for that
purpose.. I suggest you design Reports and give them a try.
