Rocky,

    If it is a single column subreport, your objective can be met by placing
the report header content in a group header (with its Repeat Section
property set to Yes). As you know, subreport's page header does not get
displayed and can not therefore be used for this purpose.

    However, for multi-column reports, the situation becomes ticklish, as
the group headers get displayed over each column. If it is required that the
report header for a multi-page subreport should get displayed across all
columns and be repeated on each page, there is an interesting solution
involving use of header subreport in an outer dummy group header of the
subreport in question. This supplementary subreport within the original
subreport serves as surrogate page header. The contents to be displayed are
preferably included in report header section of this sub-subreport.

    The approach outlined above is demonstrated in my sample db named
SubReport_GroupHdrAcrossColumns. It is in access 2000 file format and is
available at Rogers Access Library. Link -

    Note:
          In order to prevent distorted display of columns, suitable
additional number of blank dummy group headers should be inserted so as to
ensure that their total number equals the number of columns. Repeat Section
property of each such group header should be set to Yes.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

  Dear List:

  I have a sub-report that prints below each detail line of the main report.
  This sub report has it's own field headings - no surprise there.  But this
  sub report can get rather long and when it slops over to the next page, I
  get the report headings for the main report but no report headings for the
  sub-report.  Is there a way to get the sub-report heading to print if the
  sub-report goes to multiple pages?
