Hello all,

I am a little unfamiliar with MS access reports,which is why I am struggling with what seems to be an extremely simple problem.

I have a report header which must display a logo at the start of every report. My program prints out multiple reports at a time. The problme is the report header is visible on the first page(the first report), but for the subsequent reports, it looks like there is no report header at all. At the bottom, near the report footer i have said force new page afte section, but nothing works.

Please help.

Thanks.
 
Is it possible that you need a page header rather than a report header?
 
But wont that make the logo appear on every single page?
The report, which is actually a letter, must have the logo on the first page only.
 
That is true, but you mention "The problme is the report header is visible on the first page(the first report)". If the reports are viewed individually, is the logo correct?
 
Yes. The logo is correct. I think I can explain better.
My letter is two pages long. There are like a hundred letters that are to be printed each time. I need the logo to appear on the first page of each letter only. But right now, I removed the report header and placed the logo as the page header and I get it on each page. Should I define the logo as the report header again or is there some setting in the page header section that I can use to make sure that this logo appears only on the first page of each letter?

Please let me know and thanks a lot for your help.
 
You need to put the logo in the Group Header, it seems, that is, a group based on each customer.
 
Ok. So now I have the logo as part of the group header. So, the logo does not appear on each page, which is great. However, the logo does not appear on the first letter and it is appearing on a seperate page before the letter (but not for the first letter though.This is happening from the second letter onwards. The first does not have any logo at all).

Help please.
 
You do not need the report header and footer or, I think, the page header and footer.
 
hi,

Thanks for all your help. Eventually what I did was remove all the headers and brought the logo down to the detail section of the report. The report was already per customer so I did not need the group header. It worked finally.

thanks again.
