SYMPTOMS

Group header information prints incorrectly when all of the following are true:

The group is set to start on a new page.
The group header is set to print on every page.
The group header and footer are the only bands that print on the page (no detail printed).

In this case, the group header information printed on the current page of the group is actually the header information for the next record.

WORKAROUND

For more information about one method of solving this problem, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

135617 BUG: Group Header Information Prints Incorrectly

The above method works in some cases, but may not work correctly with a Print Preview. In the case of a Print Preview, follow these steps:

Move field(s) from the Group Header to Page Header. Double-click the field and change the following Print When options:

      Set the Print Repeated Values to No.
      In Also Print section,
         check When This Group Changes
         check When Detail Overflow to New Page/Column

Field(s) in the Group Footer remains the same.
Make sure that Group Properties (in Data Grouping) are set to "Start Each Group on a New Page" option.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
