Printing detail information in header

edited September 2001 in General
Hi,

Is there a way to print detail information in header? Like, the first record
of the group should be printed in the header of the group. I've tried
putting the details fields in the header but got duplicated data.

Any sort of help would be welcome.
Tks

    Instead of creating a group header, make the first detail band of a group
    print like it was the header. Set the visibility of the controls in the
    detail band to do this. It may be helpful to use two regions. The first
    region would be the header band layout, and the second region would be the
    regular detail band layout. Place them together in the detail band, so that
    at design time they will be stacked vertically so you can manipulate them.
    Then at runtime, reposition them so that their top is zero and set the
    visibility of the region to print the pseudo-group header band.


    Cheers,
