Report header question

How do you add a header or footer to an Access report? I followed the
Help suggestions of clicking on the View dropdown and either check or
uncheck Header/Footer - but that only deletes an existing one. How
can I add a header or footer?

Thanks,

Tara, The report itself only has one set of header/footers. You can add
more group level headers and footers though. Select View/Sorting and
Grouping from the main menu while in report design view. Select a
Field/Expression then in the lower section you will see Header/Footer
properties. Hope this helps!

The ones in View are for report and page headers and footers. You
can only have one each of those per report. If you want group
headers and footers. click on the sorting/grouping icon on the
toolbar, select the field or create an expression to group on, and
set the appropriate header/footer properties to yes.

Thank you Bob and Reggie. That worked like a charm!
