Page Header Group in a Subreport

[Don]

I have a huge report I had to create with about 10
subreports.

However, in these subreports, it seems as if
the "PageHeader" group is never triggered, because I don't
see my field names. Ok... no time to panic yet.....

So, I put the field headings in the "ReportHeader" group
and they printed fine. But.... if the subreport goes into
another page, the field headings are NOT repeated. ....
which makes sense. Report Header sections of course, do
not have a "Repeat Section" Property.

How can I make these column headings on a subreport
repeat? I saw Microsoft's Knowledge Base Article 292050..
Keeping Subreport Data Together on a Page, but this is not
what I am looking for.

Am I making sense? Can anyone provide any guidance?

Thanks in Advance,
Don

In each subreport, add a top level group (View menu -
Sorting and Grouping) using a constant expression such as
=1. Specify Yes for the group header property, then set the
section's RepeatSection property to Yes.

Now you can move all the labels from the page header to this
new group header.
