Report headers

[samkuehn]

Is there anyway that I can create a report header ABOVE the page header? Banding seems to work like this:

band_page_header
band_begin
[band_detail]
band_summary
band_page_footer

The logical place to put this is in the a "report header" is in band_begin this does not work well as band_begin comes after the page header and the page headers have all of my column names so the report comes out strange.

col1 col2 col3 (band_page_header)

Report description (band_begin - first page only as desired)

[band_detail]

It would be much preferable for it to look like this

Report description (band_begin/band_report_header - first page only)

col1 col2 col3 (band_page_header)

[band_detail]

Any ideas how I could achieve this?

I did a workaround using subreport, i.e.
band_page_header
band_detail (report description)
[subreport starts here]
subreport band_header (if any)
subreport band_detail
subreport band_footer
[subreport ends here]
...
Note, that you can only pass one object to the query set (but with child objects). Again, this is just a workaround. Hope that helps.
