>Your suggestion was right on. However, (isn't there always a however) I now find that using the following code causes the header on the first page to revert back to the header for the entire section. Actually, the line referring to ShowFirstPageNumber=.t. is the culprit. Everything is fine if I comment that line out. Any words of wisdom on this ?

Sorry, not something I've looked at. Did you check the Knowledge Base?

If all else fails, you can just insert the page number manually rather than using a PageNumbers object.
