How can I make a page header for a subreport?

I have a container report that has 17 fields and corresponding column header text labels. There are six subreports that display at the end of the container report. Each subreport has a report header with column labels that are different from the container report.

When a subreport happens to exceed two pages, the header for the subreport is not displayed again on the second page or any subsequent page. The report becomes confusing beacuse the container report header is visible on the page, but the subreport header is invisible. In summary, I have subreport data with container report descroptions of that data. How can I fix this?

I have tried to suppress the container report header contingent on a global flag variable that is set in the subreport section. That did not seem to work.

Is it possible to insert a page header section into a subreport?
 
You may try to insert a group in the subreport, which has only one value. (Select a column from the table which has only one value.). Place the label to be repeated in each page in the subreport, in the group header, and make the group header to be printed on each page through 'Change Group' submenu item.
 
Right on!

Next time I will search the Crystal Decisions knowledge base first.

Thanks.
