I am trying to develop a report that only shows a header or a footer. The report has one sum field that is NOPRINT, but I really don't need that either. I need a few lines of text to display with a field embedded in one of them.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Kevin,

You will need at least 1 field in your table request.
  
-* File Kevin2.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"<COUNTRY "
PRINT COUNTRY NOPRINT
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

Kevin,

This is the common technique for creating freeform reports and is actually described in the documentation. We use it to create form letters and such. Danny has given you the basics - PRINT field NOPRINT and HEADING. Add text, fields, and styling as needed.

Darin

Thanks,

That's pretty well what I already had. I just had the wrong field name in my NOPRINT that was causing an error.
