Does anyone know how to get subreports to have page headers?
 
When I add a report as a subreport the page header options are not available.  Maybe thats just the way Crystal is but I wonder if there is a work around?
 
Any help greatfully received.

Page headers are fairly easy, page footers can't be done.
 
To create a pseudo page header:
 
1.  Group on something in the subreport that only occurs once.  For example, I usually group on the field I'm linking to.  If there are a combination of fields in the link, I create a formula that concatenates them and group on that.
 
2.  In the group header section in the grey area to the left of the report, right-click and select "Change Group..."
 
3.  Go to the Options tab and turn on "Repeat group header on each page".
 
4.  Put your page header info in the group header section.
