Parameters changing in PageHeader

Hi Everyone.
I am working on a report that returns information on multiple people.
I would like the name of these people to be shown on every page.
I know we can't have fields in the PageHeader so i have created a Report
Parameter with no prompt and linked it via the default value section on the
report parameter screen to the fullname field in my datasource.
I added a text box which has the assignment of:
=Parameters!FullName.Value
My problem is that for every person returned in my report i have the same
name appearing in the PageHeader. so...
Is there a way to have this parameter dynamically changing depending on what
persons i have in my report? could i have possibly linked the field and the
parameter incorrectly?

Thanks in advance,
Dave HuntYou can group your report by =Fields!FullName.Value and place the name field
in the group header or you can place your report into a list box and group
your list by =Fields!FullName.Value and drop the name field in the list area.

the FullName. Instead, you will have the FullName placed in a group header
textbox (e.g. with the textbox called "TextboxFullName"). Then in the page
header, you can just another textbox with the following expression:
=ReportItems!TextboxFullName.Value

I have a number of tables in a listbox.
Each table has its own datasource.
One of these datasources returns a fullname.
What is the process to assign a group or get an expression into a group
header?
is it a proerty somewhere?
What exactly would i need to do to get my name repeating on each page and
change when a new record starts?
Do you know if in the future it will be posible to have fields in the page
header?
I appreciate your help very much guys! thanks again
