I have a list. I use a script to find all the entries by month for a
monthly report. I created a field with a value list of months and
years to title each report. When I go to print view the title value
disappears. Does anyone no why?? The field is set to print.

Thanks

There are a few possible reasons. The most likely might be that the
title field is defined as a regular field instead of a global field.
If it's a regular field, you may be setting the value in a record that
doesn't appear in the report, in which case the instance on the report
is empty, or you might be setting the value for a record other than
the top record, assuming that the title field appears in the layout
header.

There are other reasons it might not be showing up, but I thought I'd
throw that one out first. Make sure the field is defined as a
global. Alternatively, if all records for the report are from a
single month, you could just place the date field on which the report
is based in the header and format it to appear as Month YYYY. This
way you wouldn't need a value list or have to set the field manually
-- it would always show the month and year of the report
automatically.

Hope this helps a little.

Best,
