That is not at all what I am saying. I do indee want the column headers of the first band on top, however what I do not want are the column headres of the second band on top, immediately underneath of the column headers of the first band.

When I specifically set the band[0] column header to fixed top (via the HeaderPlacement property) and do nothing else in the code the band[1] column headers appear immediately below them as shown in my screen shot. I would think that specifiying .....band[0].HeaderPlacement = HeaderPlacement.FixedOnTop; would have no bearing on the band[1] headings.

Prior to calling the Export which I've placed in a resuable class, if I do the following (and nothing else) the band[1] column headings will appear immediately below the band[0] headings:

HeaderPlacement.FixedOnTop;

"Earned Hours", gvEmployeeEarnedHours, Infragistics.Documents.Excel.WorkbookFormat.Excel97To2003);

}

In order to mitigate the effect I was seeing in my exported grid, in the same class I am handling the BeginExport event to  hide the band[1] column headers. 

void 

gvExport_BeginExport(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ExcelExport.BeginExportEventArgs e)
{
e.Layout.Bands[1].ColHeadersVisible = false;
}

Note that prior to do the export I am not expanding the grid view to show the lower level band - I am simply exporting as is and given that it is supposed to be an WYSIWYG export the results seem counter to that statement.

Hopefully this explains my intent a bit better. On that note, are there any samples out there dealing with exportation of grids with multiple bands. Obviously I'd like to follow whatever is recommended for dealing with column headers on export.

Thanks,
Paul
