Add Child Band Following the Group Header Band
Rather than printing the column headings at the top of each page, it is desired to print
them immediately after the Group Header Band. Therefore a Child Band will be used to
accomplish this.
Within the Band Report Editor click the “Create a New Child Band” icon, then click
anywhere within the report image. The following dialog box will be displayed. You must
enter the Parent Band, therefore select “Header 1” (which is the name of the Group Header
band) as shown in the figure below.

After clicking the OK button, a Child Band named Band2 now exists underneath the Group
Header Band. The column headers will now be copied from the Column Header Band into
the Child Band. After this is done, you may need to resize/reposition the fields within the
Child Band. You can delete the Column Header Band by right-clicking on it and selecting
delete.
Finally, change the background color of the Child Band to blue.
The resulting report format within the Editor appears as follows:
