I am at my wit's end. I absolutely REQUIRE variable data to be repeated on each page of the report.

The normal "kluge" of referencing the ReportItems collection DOES NOT WORK on MULTIPLE PAGES!!

I repeat, the normal "kluge" of referencing the ReportItems collection DOES NOT WORK on MULTIPLE PAGES!!

I tried putting the variable data in fields within the table which is causing the multiple pages, and that does work in the Visual Studio preview, but it does NOT WORK when EXPORTED to PDF! We REQUIRE that the reports be in PDF (Natch!!!)

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?????

What a CRAPPY product!!!!

Hi Cynthia

Not sure of your exact requirement but we had a similar issue when doing preprinted stationery. After similar scream inducing efforts we ended up using subreports for header and footer. Not ideal but when we showed our solution to an MS gold partner they said that it is either that or adding the variables to the table detail and hiding it. It works but technically there must surely be a better way.
