repeating group header on multiple pages for a List

[T Ray Humphrey]

I'm using SSRS from SQL Server 2008. I have created a two column report that
has a List control showing free-form detail data. I'm trying to display what
I think is a group header at the top of each column. The current problem is
the group header only shows on the first page (the first report column in
this case).

My List has a row group set up, but I deleted the first column that was
added when I created the group. My layout is like this:
[Group Header Data]
[expressions for Detail row]

In playing around with this, if I keep the column added by the row group, I
would end up with this:
[Group Header Data]
[expressions for Detail row]

This works if I check the Repeat Header Rows on Each Page for the Tablix,
but I don't want that nested look.

Isn't there a way to do what I want? Perhaps:
1. some property setting I haven't found yet?
2. a way to "merge" the two columns in the group header row
3. or a way to tell the first column to write on top of the second in the
header row (in which case I would make the first column very narrow)

I'm used to a group header being a row I have control over. It seems more
like this is a cell I have control over, and it can't extend over other
columns or just put the header over the details. Please tell me I'm wrong,
and more importantly, how I can be right. :)

Thanks,
Ray
