ReportItems in Page Header

I've added a hidden field to my report so I can show the value in the page header using ReportItems. However it only works for the first page - the value is blank on subsequent pages. Does the hidden field need to appear on all pages of the report? Would I need to make it a hidden field in a repeated list or table?Yes, the hidden field needs to be on all pages. You can either put it inside the table header and make the header repeat on every page. Or put it outside of the dataregion, and check the "repeat report item with data region on every page" box to make it repeat with the list or table.|||

One trick I learn is that instead of using the hidden field for report header. I created a parameter and then selected "Internal" to be used only with the report. You can parameter in the page header.

Hammer,

That may work if you only have one row in a dataset, but if you have more than one row, it only captures the first value in the dataset.

N,

Yes, that correct, but anything in the header is mostly static and a single row works perfectly.

Hello All,

How do I ENABLE the Repeat report item with data region on every page property. please help.

|||Right click on the textbox and bring up the properties dialog, under the Tooltip box, there is the "Repeat report item" checkbox. Make sure that's checked, and pick a data region in the dropdown list.|||

I still cannot get this to work. I've created the hidden field outside of the table data region and told it to repeat with the table, but it still only appears on page one. What could I be doing wrong?

Just tried putting it in table header too. This works but not if the column is hidden - I need to make it visible but set width to minimum which appears to be 0.07937cm. Is this the correct method?

Same problem here. The RepeatWith even tough it is set to the Date Region, isn't repeated at all

|||Hi there !

Has anybody found an answer ? .. I have the same problem here.

In my report, i'm filling the header fields through my datafield in the reportbody. But:

I found out, that it's important, where the datasetfield is located in the body. in my case: if it's located before of the subreport, the headerfield is only filled out on the first page - if it's located after the subreport, only the last page header field will be filled.

Pls. help.
