Need to change textobject in Page Header based on current section

[roerunner]

Using CR for VS.NET 2003

I have a page header for my report that contains the company logo/address as well as the title of the report. This report really contains two separate reports, which are in two different subreports in separate section. I need to change the title of the report in the page header based depending on the section. How do I do this?

Thanks!

Actually, you can fake page headers in the subreports, so it will change with the subreport.

In the subreport:
1. Group on the field used to link to the main report (or one of the fields if there are multiple in the link.) Make this the outer-most group.
2. Turn on Repeat Group Header on Each Page for this group.
3. Put your page header information in the group header.

Thanks, Hilfy, that make sense. I have another report, that has the same issue, but it's actually just different sections (not subreports) in the same report. For example:

Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Section 4

I would like sections 1 and 2 to have one header, and then sections 3 and 4 to use a different one. FWIW, any section may or may not span across multiple pages.

Any additional help you can provide would be great!

Thanks!

One other note on my previous message -- assume that the sections have no datasource whatsoever, that they just have hard-coded text and some text objs /parms that are filled in programmatically.

I can't think of anyway to do this with that specific configuration.
