I am using CRW8.5 and Acess97. I have to create a CSV file with 40 columns.
I am writing the header info in the Text Box and it is placed in the Page Header section of the report.

When I open the file in notepad. I see the header information being repeated.

I am not sure what I am doing here. Please help. Thanks.
 
If it's page header, it would get repeated each page. Try it in the Report Header.

If that doesn't work, do an extra detail section, placed before the normal one and suppressed except for the first occurrence. (You can get this with a running-total count suppressing the section if not equal to 1.

Maker sure you have downloaded the latest service pack and export driver hot fixes. There were several issues related to exporting to text.

Thanks Madawc and dgillz

I have all the latest fixes installed and also placed the header in the Report Header section.

However, when I open the file there were only 15 columns written, I have entered information for around 40 columns.
Can you please shed some light on this. Thanks
