I read previous postings about this subject and understand that the main report manages the headers and footer but I would need more detail on how to user a "header" created in the sub report

*****************
The main report is in charge of paging issues, subreport d
not use the page header/footer, page events, etc

The usual way to simulate a page header is to create a to
level group (Sorting and Grouping) based on a constan
expression such as =1. Make sure this group has a grou
header section, then move the controls to the new header an
fix them as needed (e.g. =Page & " of " Pages needs to b
changed to =Parent.Page & " of " Parent.Pages). Set th
group header's RepeatSection property to Yes

can someone elaborate on this a bit

The Sorting and Group window can be opened from the View
menu when the report is open in design view. The top level
group is the one at the top of the list. To create a header
section for the group, specify Yes for the group's Header
Section property in the bottom area of the window.
