    Form Header/Footer Vs. Page Header/Footer

    I'm sure its been asked before but I cant find it here in the forum (or in my Dummies Book)

    What is the difference between the Form Header/footer section and the Page Header/footer section?



    what would be an example of why you would need two separate header areas?

    and why does the Page header/footer content not show up in the form view?


    Thanks for the help

    forms do have pages. (rt click , page & form H/F)
    the report page H/F shows on every page,
    the rpt H/F shows at the (Report) top/btm of the report. so 1st page of rpt and last page of rpt.

    page header/footer should appear in design view and when printing (for which you normally use a report). It does not appear when viewing a form on a monitor.

    say you have a single form which has a height such that say 3 forms can appear on one print page. The form header will repeat 3 times, the page header once
