Report header disappears when scrolling

[qprjohn121]

I have a report consisting of a set of column headers in the 'Page Header' section and a set of fields in the 'Detail' section. When I run the report and scroll down to inspect the full list of items retrieved, the column headings disappear as if they were just the first row of data. The same thing happens if I put the column headings in a 'Report Header' section instead of 'Page Header'.

How can I ensure the column headings stay visible at the top whilst scrolling?

My Page Header properties include Visible = Yes and Display When = Always.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry, Reports don't work that way. Believe it, or not, they are primarily set up for printing. For viewing like you are talking about where the column headers stay in place and the data scrolls, would need to be done in a FORM which is not meant for printing but, is instead, normally used for user interaction.

Ah I see, thanks Bob. In fact I had already achieved the desired effect using continuous forms in the way that I think you are suggesting, but I felt that a 'report' ought to have been the more appropriate tool since the information is just for viewing, with no data being entered in the 'form'. I made the continuous form act like a report by setting all the data entry fields to Locked = Yes and Tab Stop = No.
