multiple textbox problem and lots of totals to report

I am trying to create a report and based it on a table "caller," which contains a field "quarter." Throughout the report this field will be refered several times.
First, I used an unbound textbox and entered a nested if-else statement, so it would detect the correct quarter. That worked fine. However, when I looked at the report, it was 12 pages long with nothing but this textbox over and over again.
Then I did some searching and found that might be able to put it into the reports header. That worked great... until I ran out of room. The header would not stretch anymore to enter more info.
This report is quiet long and I will have to use several sub-reports (I guess), as it will have to report lots of statistical information.
Are there anymore possibilities?
 
I'm not too sure what your data output is, but can you create a group header based on [quarter] and place the text box in the header? The group header will grow to whatever length it needs to.

Nine times out of ten, the simplest solution is the best one.
 
I used a couple of group headers and that seems to be working well.
Thank you very much
