    Posted: 08 Sep 2009 at 2:21pm
I have a report that requires the Report Header to change when the Group name changes.   Example: Report Header 'Third Party for <Group Name>  where <Group Name> is from my first report group.   
 
I've been able to get it to work except I have three records in my first group and it prints the group name which is 'TEST GRP1' on the first two groups, but then prints 'TEST GRP2' on the last record for the first group and the first record for 'TEST GRP2'
 
Like this:
 
           Third Party for TEST GRP1                 page 1
 
TEST GRP1
   Input type 'INSERT"
       Detail line
 
  Third Party for TEST GRP1                 page 2 
 
TEST GRP1
   Input type 'UPDATE"
       Detail line
 
 Third Party for TEST GRP2                page 3 
 
TEST GRP1
   Input type 'REPLACE"
       Detail line
 
 Third Party for TEST GRP2                 page 4
 
TEST GRP2
   Input type 'INSERT"
       Detail line
 
Can anyone help me to get this to work, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I am going to take a stab that you are referring to the Page Header and not a report header, that you have a text field that you inserted group name field into it.
It is looking at the last field read not the next field (last record from previous page).
 
create a formula field as "header text" or whatever:
next({table.fieldyou want displayed})
Replace the group name field in your text box with this.
