I did not understand your reply in parenthesis....Do you mean
properties are not available, or that they are within expressions
within a report.
Thank you.|||The author and description properties are not available to textboxes. Your
choices are to either hard code the values into a textbox(es) or to add the
information to a table and pull it into the report using a dataset.

> Thank you.|||I meant that expressions in reports can only access information and metadata
that is exposed in the Report Object Model. This object model contains the
following collections: Fields, Reportitems, Parameters, Globals, User.
The properties for Author and Description are not exposed there. So you
cannot access them.
BTW: these properties are exposed in the Rendering Object Model, but you
would need to write your own custom rendering extension to take advantage of
that and it would still be very hard to solve your initial problem (show
these properties in header / footer).
