I'm trying to make a layout that has a header that displays in Browse mode, one that has buttons attached to scripts, a company graphic, etc., but that only prints on the first page in preview mode (like a cover sheet might in Word, except that only part of the page would be the cover sheet - I know, wierd, huh?). It would also be great to have a header that is separate that only has the column labels, that would print on every page. Is there any way to accomplish this?

You are using title header. You must use simply Header part

Okay, now I'm using a title header, which only shows on the first page in preview mode. The problem is that I want the buttons (attached to scripts, which are shown only on the first page in preview [i.e., print mode]) to show in the normal header (floating one, with records scrolling beneather - columnar report), so I can use the scripts attached to them to sort data, and so forth.

Is there any way to get these scripted buttons to show in browse mode on *every* page, but not in preview mode? Maybe I can set some settings in preview mode to show me the title heading in lieu of the normal heading, but in print mode they can print as a normal title header and header header would?

I know this is a bit long-winded, but I am just trying to describe accurately what is going on. Thank you for any help! :

Use Sliding and Printing Options for buttons in Layout mod:

Format/Sliding and Printing/Dont Print Selected Object

For some reason, the Sliding and Printing option is ghosted out, any idea why this might be?

You have to select the items that you want this to happen with. I.e. select the buttons, fields, etc. in layout mode before you select Slide/Printing.
