value displays in one page of header only - repost Cory

sql server reporting services:
Hi. I'm resposting the question because I haven't been able to get (or figure
out) an answer. Thanks for reading.

I am using ReportItems in the header of a report to reference a data field
in the body of the report. Often the data in other
fields can be quite large (20 to 100 pages when rendered in PDF).

The header value only displays on the same page that data appears in the
body of the report (for example, if the field appears on pg 20 then the value
in the header appears on pg 20 - but no others).

I want this data to appear in the header of every page.

I have tried the following in the header:
=First(ReportItems!callid.value)
=ReportItems!callid.value

And of course in the body I have =First(Fields!callid.Value, "CallQuery")

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help. (again)

Cory

Could you explain some more?
Your report is a matrix/table?
You wan't the same value in the header of every page, and this is just a
culumn from the matrix/table, that has the same value for every row?
Do you have fixed page breaks?

There are not a lot of options for data in page header. After a lot of
searching, I found that the easiest was to use a report parameter with its
default value set to the desired field of a dataset and set the parameter
for no prompt. In my case I had several values I needed, so I created a
dataset that returned a single row for that info.

I apologize for the delay - I never received a notice that someone had
answered...

The report is actually text fields in rectangles.

I want the same value (one field value) on every page. Essentially this
report is a one record report - that covers many pages when extracted to .pdf.

The page breaks are not fixed. Essentially 95% of the fields appear on the
first page and the next 5% of fields cover the next 20 pages (more or less
depending on what was entered for details for the record).

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

That's a great idea. I'll try that as soon as I get a chance. It sounds like
exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks.
