Par2: Different page header on page 1 of a report
2000-03-20 -- Steve Parker
 
Create a Page Header based on what is common in the two headers.

Create two detail bands contain the two headers and set their filters to False.

Populate the Psge Number control template. Create a local variable, LOC:
Page, a Long.

Print the first one (using Anton Novikov's FAQ) in ThisWindow.OpenReport:
 If ~ReturnValue
    Print(RPT:FirstOne) 
 End

To print the Page Header for the rest of the pages, go to TakeRecord,
before Parent Call:

If Loc:Page <> ReportPageNumber
  Print(RPT:TheOtherOne)
End
LOC:Page = ReportPageNumber

Lee White notes that this won't always return the results you're after unless you
are forcing your own page breaks and recommends:

After the first PRINT() the header on "page 1" has already been rendered
so you can then change it to whatever you want on the remaining pages by
whatever means you want. I generally just hide and unhide controls in
the header as needed. (I.e., after the first Print(Rpt:Detail).)
