Hi - I am trying to combine multiple reports into one without changing
anything(report,header,detail)on the subreports. I am simply trying to put
reports end-to-end for easy printing.
But when I insert individual reports under "detail" section of the main
report, the page headers of subreports don't show. Can someone please help?
is there a property that needs to be set in order to capture w/o loosing any
part of the reports?

No can do (without mods).

All "Page" stuff is the domain of the parent report. All page
header/footers and page events are suppressed in a subreport.

You can create a top-level Grouping over a constant value like =1 and set
its RepeatSection property to True and it will act pretty much like a
PageHeader and will still show through when used as a subreport. I don't
think there's any easy way to do anything similar to simulate a PageFooter
though.

You can also use page events to set a global variable to keep track of
PageNumbers. That would allow you to print the multiple reports as
separate reports but with a single continuous Page number sequence. You
just set the [page] property to the value of the variable in the open event
of the second and subsequent reports.
