The main report is in charge of paging issues, subreport do
not use the page header/footer, page events, etc.

The usual way to simulate a page header is to create a top
level group (Sorting and Grouping) based on a constant
expression such as =1. Make sure this group has a group
header section, then move the controls to the new header and
fix them as needed (e.g. =Page & " of " Pages needs to be
changed to =Parent.Page & " of " Parent.Pages). Set the
group header's RepeatSection property to Yes.
