Hi,
I'm running into a bizarre issue with a repeating header on a dynamic form after each time that it's saved and reopened. I've tried every combination for repeated headers for page and rows and hit up every forum to no avail.
I have a table, wrapped in a subform (dynamic). My first two rows are header rows that are grouped together, with one row containing a column with Add/Delete Row buttons. As rows and data are added and data moves onto a second page, the two header rows repeat correctly on the second page (and subsequent pages). After saving and reopening, however, the two header lines are repeated TWICE on page one, then again (correctly) on page 2 and any pages that follow. If I add data or shuffle existing data around and then save the form, upon reopening, there's ANOTHER header line on page one. The bunny-like reproduction continues with every save and reopen of the file.
I have 4 such subform-wrapped tables like this in my form, all dynamic, so as I add data and save, all 4 tables end up with multiple repeating headers, to the point that some of them have a couple pages of repeated headers before the data starts...though on the subsequent pages, the header repeats once as it should (I guess that's a bonus...). I can't make the repeating header issue go away without killing the header's ability to appear at the top of each page!
Has anyone seen this before...or better yet, has anyone FIXED this before!
Thanks
Ck.
Repeating header rows being added after every save?!?

Sounds like a design problem.
Maybe you use the same naming for all your header rows with a binding set to their name.
I suggest to set the binding for each header row to "none".

Thanks for the responses -
In the many iterations I've tried, I somewhat solved the duplication issue in my current version by having the HeaderRows set to be not repeating in binding - but this resulted in the issue of having my header rows ONLY showing up on pages 1 and 2 for each of the 4 subforms, but not appearing on subsequent pages for each subform (even though the pagination tab for the "group" of two headers is set to have them appear on the initial and subsequent pages)...still not the desired result.
I tend to agree with the assessment that it can't handle two header rows, but I can't even get ONE of the two rows to repeat beyond the second page of a given subform. I played with the setup of the overflow leader as well to no avail - still only on the first 2 pages (plus, I can't select my "group" in that list which is strange to me...only shows individual rows from the subforms).
All of my header rows are uniquely named for their particular subform and I tried setting the bindings to "none" - still only get 2 pages with headers.
The only possible solution I can think of would be to pull the 2 header rows out of each of the subforms (say subform A) that they're related to and wrap them in a new subform (Say "B"), which I could then set as the overflow leader for each subform ("A" - which would then only contain the data rows with no header). It would require significant effort and reformatting of my headers and I just don't have time for that at the moment (nor am I sure it would WORK after failing to get overflow leaders to repeat), so I thought that before possibly wasting that time, I'd throw this question out there.
*I need the two header rows - one is the Category name/Title (of the subform) with several merged columns and with buttons for "add and delete row", the second row contains all of the actual column names (9 in total across)
Thanks again for any insight,
Ck
