I created a Access-report with foto's of students. To save paper, it's a report with 3 colums. This works OK.
But on the top of each page I want to place a title over the full page width. It look that also the pageheader and reportheader section only can use the width of one column, although the Access help-file says this is not the case?!?
It looks that te width of the detail-section and the width of the header-section always must be the same. If I stretch the width of the headers, also the width of the detail-section changes, and because of that it's impossible to print 3 columns, because the width of the columns is to big.

What can I do or what did I forget?
 
Make your report width as wide as you need it. When you set up your columns, go into page setup, columns. In the Column Size area, uncheck Same as Detail. Then set the size of the columns manually in the height and width boxes. This should allow you to have the page and report headers the width of the page and your columns should still show up.

Good Luck,
