Hi, Fergal reading this message, all seems ok ! Infact, the first page header take the precedence on page header only on the first page of the report. Other pages uses the page header section. You cannot execute first page header, page header and rows. Page headers are mutually exclusive, and cannot be printed together on, say, the first page of the report (if you intended do this ! If not, please be more specific). Cheers. Claudio Duffini ("duffo@iol.it")
