You're right, it appears that the Report designer can't do this. The best you can do is put a watermark on each detail band which appears behind the report detail. And no, we can't buy paper with a watermark. The reason the report will be watermarked is to prevent the end user from copying it and cropping off our copyright messages.

Thanks anyway,
Chris

>>Does anyone know how to print a watermark on a report using the report writer? A watermark is a large graphic that shows faintly behind the text of the >report. It would need to be behind the detail section of the report (not the header or footer) And it would typically be much larger than the detail band of the >report.
