[AccessD] Re: Report Page Header

Interesting...works like a charm, but this approach doesn't seem intuitive
to me.  Is this common practice?


Thanks,

Mark

This is not a page header but a group header.

Create a dummy group with your labels:
Set Field/Expression to  =True
Set Group Header to Yes.

In the report, adjust the group's layout properties:

Set Keep Together to False
Set Repeat Section to True
