simple header question

[Guest]

I have a simple billing report:

Salesperson
Customer Name
Customer Line Detail

I have a page break in the Customer Name footer so that
each customer prints separately, but I want the
Salesperson's name to appear on every page. I've tried it
with its own header and in the page header but I get
strange results. (Such as an overlap in which the previous
salesperson's name appears along with the one which
follows it for one page.)

What am I don't wrong?

thanks,
spence

Spence - do you have a footer/header for Salesperson? You
don't need to print anything in the footer, just define it
so it clears out before the next one. Having a header
will reset the variable before you print the customer.

I do indeed have a Salesperson header and footer. The
header has [Salesperson] in it and the footer is empty. My
report sections go

Page Header(empty)
Salesperson Header
[Salesperson]
CustomerHeader
[CustomerName]
Detail
Customer Footer
(page break)
Salesperson Footer (empty)
Page Footer (empty)

It prints the name of each Salesperson only on the first
page of that sales person's list of customers. But if I
try moving the feild {Salesperson] up into the Page Header
I get the aforementioned overlapping effect.

I think you only need to set the salesperson header
section's RepeatSection property to Yes
