repeat header at top of each page?

[Guest]

I want to have the form header repeated on each page of the form in access
that I am creating. When I click on help it tells me to Open the report in
Design view Double-click the section selector. Set the RepeatSection property
to Yes. I do not have the option to set the RepeatSection property to Yes.
Here are the options that I have: Name, Force New Page, New Row or Column,
keep together, visable, display when, can grow, can shrink, height, basic
color, special effect, tag, on click, on dbl click, on mouse down, on mouse
move, on mouse up. Any ideas?

Forms are for entering data
Reports are for printing

You're a bit confused, and your question has confused me.
As this is a Form's newsgroup, I'll assume you really are talking
about printing a form, and not about printing a report.

From Access Help:

Add or remove a section
Add or remove a form or report section

Form headers and footers appear at the top and bottom of a form in
Form view and at the beginning and end of a printed form. Report
headers and footers appear at the beginning and end of a printed
report. **** Page headers and footers appear at the top and bottom of
each printed page ¡X they don't appear in Form view. ****


The Form's Form Header is not for printing on the top of each page.
If you wish to print a form, and have a header repeat on each page,
use the Form's Page Header section. That's what it is for.

Note, however, that forms are really not suitable for printing. Either
create a report displaying the data as you wish it, or if you must
show the form as background for the data, make a report out of the
form. Select the Form on the main database folder. Right-click and
select Save as. Enter the new report name and select Report in the
drop-down. Now if you print this report, you can take advantage of all
of the report features, i.e setting and retaining margins, etc.

I bet you just did what I did. If when you click the section selector and
the hieght box is at 0" then your header is just simply located in the wrong
section - it is located in the report header and not the page header. Enter
a value like 0.25" in the height section and it will open up the area that
you will want your header to be located.
