Need repeating field on every form page

I have a form that is set to flow. The form has three main subforms. The first subform is CampusNameSubform. This contains one text field. The subform is set to Position/Allow Page Breaks, the rest of the tabs are the default settings. The second subform, "HeaderSubform", is the repeatable "area" that contains a drop down menu, two text fields and an expandable table. The third subform is an "Add New Goal" button that when clicked adds a new "area", ("HeaderSubform" with the expandable table). All of this works great.

(I have the Master page set up with the form's title and print button in what would be a document's header and the page number count in the document's footer. Both the header and footer objects are outside the Master Page content area.)

Problem: How do I get the CampusName field to appear on all new pages as they are created? As new pages are created via the expandable table or the "Add New Goal" button the campus name field only appears on page 1. I have tried several combinations between the design page and the master page but I cannot get the CampusName text field to appear with data on every page. FYI - The info in the field will not change. Each campus will have its own form. So what I really need is to enter the campus name one time and have the field repeat on every subsequent page as the pages are created via the expandable table or the Add New Goal button.

A picture of the heirarchy is attached.

I am grateful for any help you can send my way. TIA!

I am VERY grateful for all your suggestions. Yes, I will keep working on it.

I did post another question this morning that no one has responded to. Maybe it can't be done? The title of the post is "Need button to launch new page in form". It is the same form you have seen. I would like the "Add New Goal" button to keep all the objects contained in the HeaderSubform together. Right now ifyou are at the bottom of a page and click "Add New Goal" it will put some of the objects on the current  page and force the rest of the objects onto a new page. The post explains everything.

Thanks!

Jan
