Field works ONLY in report header?

[joebloeonthego]

Hello, I have a report called from a search form with 20 or so search fields (so they can filter by any field). The report prints all the records and at the top shows any date or cost filters that were used, ie: date>, date<, cost>, cost< (there's 6 in total) and I just reference the textbox on the search form and it works great.
It works great ONLY if they're in the report header. If i move them to the page footer, or page header (where management now wants them) they all show up as NAME?.

I must be missing something?

Can you explain how you are populating the textboxes with the values. Are you just referencing a form value in the Control Source for your report Textbox with something like

=Forms!Form1!Text0

That should work in both the Report Header and Page Header. You might try referencing the textbox in your Report header with the textbox in your Page Header. And then just set the visible property for the textbox in your Report header to No.
