Report Page Header - Can Grow?

Hi,

I am using Access 2003.

I have set up an invoice in a report. I have set up the name and
address as text boxes in the Page Header which I've made as small as
possible then set the Can Grow property to Yes. This works fine.

Below that, there is the column headers for the sales lines which
appear in the Detail section.

The problem I am having is that there doesn't seem to be the ability
to have Can Grow in the Page Header. This means that I have to guess
how tall to make the Page Header so that the name and address can grow
into it. Unfortunately, with some addresses, this means that there is
a large gap between the column headers and the sales lines in the
Detail section. If I reduce the size of the Page Header, sometimes
the column headers are cut off, as the name and address have grown to
the point where they take up most of the Page Header section.

I have seen that the Report Header has a Can Grow property, but that
would then mean that if the invoice went over one page, that the
Company Name and details would only print on the first page, and I
need that on each page, as, essentially, the Page Header.

Is there a way around this?

Many thanks,

Franc.

Create a group header on the InvoiceID.
Set the Repeat Section property of this section to Yes.
It will repeat on any subsequent pages.

In a report I have 3 sub-reports. Each Sub-Report has it's own Page Header. When I run the sub-reports individually, the page headers print correctly ... but ... when I run the main report the subreport page headers do not print (they are simply invisible). The Sub-Reports' Report Header Band does get printed though. Any idea why the Sub-Reports' Header Band gets printed, but the

Hi Everyone; In a report, I've essentially recreated a paper sheet by adding various labels--name, date, problem, year, Progress Notes, etc.--and horizontal lines (people have traditionally written notes). I made all of these in the Page Header section. By the way, this is a report form to track the daily progress of students. --Report Header--none. --Grouping section--yes. The report form has a StudentID Header, which

In my report I have a calculated field that counts the number of records of the underlying table, =Count(). This field is placed in the report's header. I'd like to repeat this value on every page but when I drag the field to the page header it shows 'error' when I run the report. Can someone explain why this isn't working? Any workarounds? Thank you. John
