Report: Text box won't print or repeat in page header.

Hello all,

I have a text box in the page header of my Access report that takes a
dynamic string value from a named text box on an open form as its
control source, written as follows:

=Forms!frmExtra ctResInfo!txtSe lectionCriteria

Two problems/situations occur:

1) It previews OK, but it isn't present when printing to hardcopy or a
..pdf file.

2) The text box is in the "page header" portion of the report, yet
only shows up on the first page. Everything else in this portion of
the report displays/prints to each page just fine.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this text box won't
output. Any ideas!
Thanks for the help,

-Nate

Thanks for the reply Tony. I feel pretty boneheaded, but found the
problem. I have a for/next statement that clears control types on the
form once search criteria for a report is submitted. It didn't occur
to me until just now that I was clearing my hidden text box containing
the search submission statement as well.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I created a report that has labels in the top three inches of the page header. There's also an unbound subform there. When I go to preview or print, the records from the detail section overlap about the bottom two inches of the labels so they can not be seen. Does anyone have any ideas as to what causes this? Thanks! Melissa

I have a report with pages breaking in the middle of text box controls. And it's not just on a line-by-line basis, but sometimes (in a situation that I can no longer recreate) just the bottom portions of a line's letters were showing up at the top of a page. My experiments show that Access will ordinarily break before a text box if the whole thing won't fit, but I haven't been able to find a property that will control this behavior. I...
