I have a report containing an embedded sub-report. In the print version of the report, the sub-report is usually short enough that it doesn't carry over to the second page and is fine as-is. However, when the sub-report carries over to a second page, I would like it to show a footer on the first page only (that reads "continued on next page"), and an additional header on subsequent pages (that reads "continued from previous page"). I have worked out how to make the sub-report's existing page header show in the main report and repeat on subsequent pages, but I can't seem to create the additional, conditional header and footer to appear when the sub-report's page count is greater than one.
Set the main report's Page Header property to "Not with Rpt Hdr".
Set the main report's Page Footer property to "Not with Rpt Ftr".
Put the "Continued From Previous Page" in the report's Page Header section.
Put the "Continued On Next Page" in the report's Page Footer section.
Now, the "Continued From Previous Page" will show on all but the first page and the "Continued On Next Page" will show on the footer of any page with a subsequent page (i.e. all but the last page).
ALTERNATIVE
Add a Textbox to the page header section.
Set the ControlSource of the Textbox to:
=iif([Page]>1, "Continued from previous page", "")
Add a Textbox to the page footer section.
Set the ControlSource of the Textbox to:
=iif([Page]<[Pages], "Continued on next page", "")

I have an Access report and I'm able to only show the page footer on the 1st page by putting the below code in the OnPrint event for the page footer, but when I print it to PDF it doesn't show the footer at all. I've tried adding the code to the OnFormat event, but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Me.PageFooterSection.Visible = Me.[Page] = 1
End Sub
In Access 2016 there is a specific solution. I'm not sure about other Access versions. Go to the report properties. under the format properties you will find both Report Header and Report Footer. Both should be set by default to "all pages". Set Report Footer to "Not with Rpt Hdr"
it looks like they didn't update or adjust for their old enum
Note: All other approaches I tried still set aside blank space for the footer even if you couldn't see it. I tried many combination of setting controls and the PageFooterSection to invisible or height 0.
original answer:
Flip the problem around. Show the text if the page is 1. Controls in the footer have access to the [page] object which gives you the page number. For instance, put a textbox in the page footer and set the textbox control source to something like:
=IIf([Page]=1,"Show this only on page 1","")
In my test the footer only showed on the first page in print preview and pdf.
I have one report which contains a subreport in it. want to customize footer content for subreport only.
for eg: footer is
now i have to use same footer but with a bit change in that
how to achieve this, because i do not found anything for identifying, where subreport ends.
can anyone please help, how to implement this.?
The footer for the sub report will not be rendered only the main report's footer shows up.As a workaround , you can try following steps .
Add a rectangle before the subreport and set a page break in rectangle with "page break after" property.
In the "PageName" property of rectangle set the name of the report
In your footer set the value of text box with a conditional expression
=IIF(Globals!PageName="<value of pagename property>,"<show the text you want to display>","")

I've to create a report that must be printed along with an existing report. Since the dataset is largely the same, I've created this new report as a sub-report to the existing report, and have added a before page break. So now both the existing report and (new) sub-report print on separate pages. The problem is that the header of the existing report gets printed on the sub-report also.
Is there a way to suppress/ hide parent report's header from the sub-report?
I guees SSRS doesn't allow to do exactly what your want, but if your subreport is on the last page, you can set PrintOnLastPage = False for report header, then it will not be printed, although I'm not sure how it will look if subreport generates many pages, I afraid that only the last of subreport's pages will be without header.
In that case all you can do is hacks - you can conditionally hide all report items inside header, setting their Hidden property to smth like this =IIf(Globals!PageNumber > YOUR_PAGE_NUMBER, True, False).
Or, if first part (parent report) generates unknown amount of pages, you can use PageName instead of PageNumber, and update report to change page name for subreport pages, f.e. by wrapping subreport into rectangle and specifying page name for rectangle. Expression then will be =IIf(Globals!PageName = "YOUR_SUBREPORT_PAGE_NAME", True, False).
i have developed an access report which is made up of 4 subreports. the first subreport is just a cover page for the report. In the main report footer i have added page numbers. the page numbers are displayed on every page of the report including my cover page. I do not want to display the page number (which is page 1 ) on the cover page. As anyone had a similar problem like this and if so could you help me with my problem, thanks
There's no automatic way to do it. But if you know VBA, you can create a function that does it for you.
You'll want a textbox in your Page Footer section. Use =ShowPage() as the Control Source. Then you'll want this code in a module:
Function ShowPage(Optional ClearPage As Boolean)
Static PageNum As Integer
If ClearPage Then
PageNum = 0
End If
If PageNum > 0 Then
ShowPage = PageNum
End If
PageNum = PageNum + 1
End Function
Lastly, put 'ShowPage True' under the Report_Load event. This will reset the counter each time the report is run.
Try this. Open your report in design view. Double click the small square at the top left corner of your report to open the report property sheet. Click on the "Format" tab and scroll to the bottom. Set your "Page Footer" property to "Not with Report Hdr". The report header is usually the first page of the report. Your first sub report should be positioned in the header section of the main report. Then the page footer will not print on the first page. Hope this helps.
I have a Report in SSRS that displays some logos at the top of the first page. I just got a requirement to add the possibility to also show the logos in the second page -- The report is only two pages. Is there a way to repeat the same Image objects in the second page?
If your report is specifically laid out to span multiple pages, you can use a repeating page header. If not (i.e., the second page is caused by content overflow), and you know it will always be two pages or less, you can use a page header and select "print on first page" and "print on last page" in report properties. Otherwise, if you have tablix controls causing the page span, and your page design allows, you can put the logos in the tablix header and enable repeat header on all pages for the tablix. If none of those work, you'll be stuck, as far as I know.

If you are showing Image in the header then you need to following things:
Adding a Data-Bound Image to a Header or Footer
You can use image data stored in a database in a header or footer. However, you cannot reference database fields from the Image report item directly. Instead, you must add a text box in the body of the report and then set the text box to the data field that contains the image (note that the value must be base64 encoded). You can hide the text box in the body of the report to avoid showing the base64-encoded image. Then, you can reference the value of the hidden text box from the Image report item in the page header or footer.
For example, suppose you have a report that consists of product information pages. In the header of each page, you want to display a photograph of the product. To print a stored image in the report header, define a hidden text box named TXT_Photo in the body of the report that retrieves the image from the database and use an expression to give it a value:
=Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!Photo.Value)
In the header, add an Image report item which uses the TXT_Photo text box, decoded to show the image:
=Convert.FromBase64String(ReportItems!TXT_Photo.Value)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220421(v=sql.105).aspx
TO repeat image on every page
IN addition to this, to repeat this image into everyt page, Go to property of TXT_Photo textbox In General tab, tick the check box "Repeat report item with data region on every page" and select your region.
