Headers and footers in a report

There are three types of headers and footers in a report:

The Report Header will appear once at the top of the report, that is, on the first page, and the Report Footer will appear at the bottom of the report, that is, on the last page.

The Page Header and Page Footer will appear at the top and bottom respectively of the individual pages in the report. When you open an auto report directly from its underlying table, the Page Header section contains by default the field names, underlined, from the table. These will be displayed at the top of each page, although you can edit them (or delete them if you don't want them to appear at all).

To enter text or graphics into a header or footer, use the buttons on the Draw toolbar (see Creating a drawing. You can also insert page numbers (see Inserting a page number into a form or report ) and the date and time (see Inserting the date and time into a form or report ) into a header or footer.

Note that if you have created a report header and a page header, the report header always occurs before the page header on the first page of the report. Similarly, a report footer always occurs after the page footer on the last page of the report.
