Proper way of Filling Fields in the Header??

Hello,

I am just starting out with Report Builder - so bear me :)

I have the JIT pipeline working to print records from an in-memory tree
that I use as my Datasource. However, now I want to populate some
information in the header band of the report - dates and some other
information.

The only way I can think of doing this is to create another JIT pipeline
and populate it with the 5 or so fields that I need. Is this the best
way of doing this - or is there a better way?

Since this info needs to be at the top of every page - I believe I can
just use another JIT source - but just not change the record in the
onTraverseBy event of the JIT Pipeline.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Bradley

    That is the way I do it. I have some static data (e.g the sales persons
    name, their company) that doesn't change. JITs work great for this. Or if
    you need them in your app (for display purposes) using an in-memory dataset
    and TDBTexts would also work--cuts down on the lines of code.
