Using a subreport template for a Header

I have numerous reports created in my db. I have a table
created that stores the report name, db report name,
comments regarding the report, and whether or not date
ranges are requred when running the report. This is
great. Now instead of hardcoding the report title and
this relevant data onto each report header, I want to
create a subreport and add this subreport to each reports
header. I am able to dynamically have it print on each
report if I directly add the unbound text boxes but what
if I want to add another field as part of the header to
each report? I don't want to have to touch each report
again. This is why I thought creating a report with this
data and then adding it to each report as a subreport --
would save me time in the long run? The problem is,
Nothing prints from the subreport in my header.
 
I got it to work. In the report where I was creating my
template, I had everything in the report header. I moved
it to the detail section. I was then able to put the
subreport on a report and it pulled the header information.
