Report's Header to "stay still"

[sagamw]

Hi guys ans a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

How can I have the header of a report (on screen) to stay still (at the top) as I scroll the body of the report?

I think I have found a property that works for a continuous form but I can't find any for reports...

Not possible that I am aware of. You can use a page header to always display something at the top of a page.

Hi Duane.
That's too bad. :-(

I wanted to have some buttons there, like "Back to Main menu" etc. and some data...

Is there a way for this? Or, how can the user return to the "Main menu" from a "long/scrolling" report?

I have never had a user ask for anything like this. Reports are displays of data that don't expose any interaction other than paging through. Typically a report has only the records required by the user and you just close it when you are done looking at it.

Hi Duane.

My db has a "one screen at the time" interface. I feels more like a program and doesn't use a "multiple windows" concept.
It doesn't even have borders or min/max/close buttons up right.
Anyway, that was my choice of design.

I imagine from your answer that there isn't a way for this?
(Maybe a way to have the report "nested" in a form, so I can have a "non-moving" part of my screen?)

Can you just use a form rather than a report? If you are using Access 2007 I believe there is greater functionality in some new views.
