Visual Basic 6 Data Report Question

Me
Hi all,

I have an app in which I need to create a packing slip. I have designed in
report designer. The data is pulled from a SQL database. My question is
how can I put information from the data base into the Page Header?
The way I have it setup right now the PageHeader contains the logo, title,
address. All of which are fine. Then under that I need to put the ship to
and bill to addresses, which are pulled from the data base. Then under that
I need to have the column headings for item number, qty ordered, etc...
These column headings are just labels. The packing slips are usually more
than one page. Because I had to put data from the database above the
headings I have had to put the headings into the detail section. That means
they only print on page 1. I would like them to print on subsequent pages.
The way I see this working I would need to have the page header somehow
include the ship to and bill to information. Any idea's? Am I making
sense?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You have to use the Sections collection to get the header section and then
the Controls collection to change the controls caption or text.

like:
drMyReport.Sect ions("Section4" ).Controls("lbl MyLabel").Capti on = "Hello
World"

Where:
drMyReport is your Data Report
Section4 is the section where the controls you want to change reside
lblMyCaption is the name of the control you want to alter

Not common enough. The least a question is asked the harder it is to find
an answer...

Glad it worked for you..
