Fixing Table Headers

Hi,
the problem in one of our reports is, that there are a lot of detail lines
for each group, so if you scroll down to see them, the table header is not
visible. Our customers are complaining about that, because they have to
scroll up and down to see to which field the detail belongs.
Moreover it is not possible to split the table, because all details are a
logical group.
My question: Is it possible to fix a table header like the fixing function
in excel, so it can always be seen when you scroll down the details?
Thanks,
BjörnTable headers can be repeated on each page, but you can not do the excel
like thing... You can make your page smaller, but that's about it I think.

Look for this in Reporting Services 2005 (shipping as part of Yukon),
though.

Bjorn,
It's a little bit of a kludge but why not add a table footer and
simply repeat the information that is in the table header? That should
make the relevant information visible in a larger part of the page.
