data in the header

It is my understanding that data items can not exist in a header (or
footer). Yet in multi page reports it is often a requirement to reprint a
heading that has data in it. What is the best way to address this issue?
Thanks,
Garycreate read-only parameter with default value from query and then to use
this parameter in the page header textbox.

Sorry, but I've looked through the docs (no search capability) and I just
can't figure out what you mean. could you pleas elaborate on what a
read-only parameter is? I have never worked with reporting software before
where putting data in the heading was problem.
Thanks,
Gary

You need to create a parameter with no prompt (If the prompt is left blank,
and a default parameter value is specified, the default value is used, and
the input box for the parameter is not displayed when the user runs the
report), set default value to "From query" and select dataset and field for
default value.

Without this, you'll have an error.
