How to add 4-5 page intro to a Report

[khwaja]

Just wondering if there is a way to add 4-5 pages before the start of actual report. I tried putting it in page header but it does not expand more than 55 cm. Report header does not work either and if I add to detail section, the text gets repeated.

Use subreports placed in the report header.

Thanks Bob. Should I put all text boxes (representing each page) this in any particular section? Looks like detail section has a limitation too.

If you create a subreport for each page of the information you want, you should be able to put them all in the report header. Don't size them to be the size for display but just have the subreports input on the main report's report header as a very small sizing like this (the sample is from something else so it shows them in the detail section but for you they would go in the Report Header):

and then you just have to set the CAN GROW property of the report header to YES and the CAN GROW property of the subreport controls (the control on the report which HOUSES the subreport) to YES.
