report builder - insert subreport into header or footer page 

This also means that one can not cut n paste missing functionality objects from one report to another as a work around.

ie subreport developed has list object.  neither can be copied to calling report header/footer

Hi garythomannCoGC ,

Apologies for my misunderstanding of your question.
At this stage, only the four items Textbox/Line/Rectangle/Image are supported to be inserted into the header or footer area.

If you would like to suggest some feature improvements. I have found users with similar needs to you  here , you may vote the idea and comment  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Best Regards,
