Repeat on Every Page - For Headers

Using SSRS 2005:
I created a text box in my report header, which references a text box in my
report body: =ReportItems!textbox88.Value
In my report body, hidden textbox88 contains my data:
=Format(Parameters!StartDate.Value, "dd MMM yy HH:mm:ss")
This all works great, except for the fact that textbox88 only exists on the
first page, so the header only has a value on the first page.
Here's the question: How do I make textbox88 Repeat on Every Page, which
let's me see a value in the header on Every Page?
Thanks,

RandyYou could copy that box into your page header instead of your report
headrer.

difference is between a page header and report header. I created the header
by viewing the report in the Layout tab, right-clicking off to the side of
the page, and selecting "Page Header."
There are many posts in the archives here that describe why you can't put
fields directly into headers. Fields must be put into something in the body
and then the header can reference that something to allow the data in appear
in the header.
I still haven't been able to spot anything that allows a field in the body
to repeat on every page, so that the data in the field appears in the header
on every page.

dataset, so there is no need for the page header text box to take its value
from textbox88. It can be taken directly from the parameter!The expression
for your page header textbox can be:
=Format(Parameters!StartDate.Value, "dd MMM yy HH:mm:ss")
