Having had the same problem in the past, I'm afraid that the answer is
that reflex, for some brain damaged reason, will not print a header
on the first page!!!!  This rather nasty quirk is actually referred to 
in the suitably quoted "directions" (though it's pretty well hidden).  The
reason given is that the header might conflict with any labels at the 
beginning of the report!!  NOW, since one can specify special headers for
within repeating collections this strikes me as at least silly, and at
most seriously brain damaged.  What you have to do to get a first page
header is put it in as "labels" at the top of the report.  (you may 
have noticed by now that footers and subsequent page headers do print).

Good Luck.
