I am new to this reporting services.Please, I got this issue too.
Does anyone get good solution?
thanks.|||I don't know if I understand you correctly but....if you are using visual studio.net
you can only use globals! and textboxes with text in them.

I hope this is what you are looking for. I am pretty new at this also.

Hope you find an answer to your problem,

Hi,
For some reason VS.net is very limited on what you can do in the headers and footers. No fields or tools can go in them. VS.net will only accept globals and textboxes with text.

I have not tried any constants-i dont know about that one.

I hoped that helped.

thanx and have a great day...

|||You can use fields in the page header and footer by using a hidden parameter. You select the fields in your stored procedure or SQL just like normal fields and then set up a hidden parameter, referencing the field. In the SSRS 2000 version, leave the Prompt value blank – this makes it hidden. In SSRS 2005, set the Hidden check box on the Report Parameters dialog box.

Next, add a new parameter to your report and set the “default value” by selecting the field from your dataset.
Then, create a text box whose value will be the new parameter - i.e. “=Parameters!Footer.Value”
