Header in SubReport

rbuser

I wanted to put a shape around a subreport listing.
However, the header band in the subreport doesn't
show up! The summary band in the subreport works.
Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hi John,

Page Headers and Page Footers are not available in a Child Subreport. If
you need a page header in your subreport, you will either need to use a
Group Header or enable the Title Band.

We have spent 2 days trying to understand why headers/footers would not work
in sub-reports!
Does it tell us this somewhere in the Help documentation?

Hi James,

Much to my surprise, this is not mentioned in our help. Thank you for
bringing this to our attention. I updated our help to mention this
limitation for the TppSubreport topic. Below is an article from the
Tech-Tips newsgroup that explains and gives some alternatives.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Subreport header/footer bands do not print for
Child type subreports.
------------------------------------------------------------------

For a subreport set to pbChild, the header/footer are not supported.
A child type subreport prints on its parent's page space and
therefore behaves more like a memo.

Options:

1. Use Title/Summary band.

2. Use GroupHeader/GroupFooter. If you need to repeat the header
when a page breaks then then you can create a group and
set StartNewPage to True.
