[AccessD] text box in page header

The report is a catalog with 2 main groups of records - field name 
EventType.  Each group then has several subgroups.  I want the page header 
to show the value of EventType, along with the date.

There is an EventType footer with the force new page property set to After 
Section.

On the first page for the second EventType, the page header text box 
EventType still has the old value.   It's not until the EventType header 
section that the value changes.

If I put the controls I want to print on each page into the EventType header 
with RepeatSection = true, I get the desired effect --  the EventyType and 
Date print at the top of each page --  EXCEPT on the page where the new 
group starts, the text boxes print twice, the first time with the old values 
and the second time with the new group's values.


Thanks
Carolyn Johnson
