RepeatWith problem

I have a report where, among other things, I want to show a multi-page table
with some text on top of each page containing that table. So I placed a
textbox above the table and set the RepeatWith property of that textbox to
repeat with the table.
But when I run the report , the textbox is not there (except on the first
page).
However if I place the same textbox next to the table (on either side) then
the textbox shows up with each new page. Is this by design or is this a bug?
Does RepeatWith actually mean RepeatNextTo?Isaak,
I had a similar issue however I put both the textbox and the table inside
a list box to keep them together. Both were tied to the same dataset (since
I had read that could be an issue). and I had the box checked on the advanced
properties of the textbox to repeat item with data region on new page ==> and
the data region was the table just below it. It didnt work. I had to
abandon that idea and create a TABLE HEADER which contained the field that I
wanted to put in the textbox. I checked to repeat table header on each new
page ... and I have been able to see that work perfectly for my situation.
Hope this helps you ... I would *still* like to know why the Repeat Item is
NOT working ... as the table header solution wont be useful in all cases.

this is an outstanding issue with Reporting Services 2005. Microsoft has
scheduled a fix for the problem in the next release of SQL Server, which
should be available in 18-24 months.

repeating free form list item fields for each group

Hi, I have a nested report where i have some dept name and address fields placed in the free form list, below the address fields i have the related employee info in a table. i have grouped on the dept id for both the list and table. for a particular dept , when the related employee table information goes on to the next page i want to repeat the dept name and address fields on each page for the group.i cannot place the fields in the group header of the table, since there are a lot of fields at different positions .so i have kept in free form in the list region.It's basically the group header information, i wanted repeated on each page, but i have placed the fields above the table, in free form.Please help. Really apreciate it . Thanks.

You can nest rectangles and text boxes in group and table header cells. This means it is possible to create a free form layout in the table or group header.

For example, you can add a rectangle to the group header cell in your table and then add multiple text boxes or images to that rectangle at any position you desire.
