>>Hi,
>>
>>I need to modify an existing report. The base for the report is one cursor. Some fields need to be printed on the report header and some other fields only on the header of the 1st page. Currently the report has a Group on .T.. I think I set up the group on .T. (many years ago) just so that I can split some fields from printing on the report header and some on the Group Header. The fields that are printed on the Group Header are only printed on the first page.

>>I can change this report (do away with Group on .T.), as far as I know, using one of two approaches:
>>1. Create two data bands and then put into the band 1 header the fields that need to be printed only on the 1st page. And put on the report header the fields that need to be printed on each page.
>>
>>2. Put all the fields on the Report Header and set the property Print When _pageno = 1 for those that only need to be printed on the header of Page 1.
>>
>>Which one would you recommend? TIA
