Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Expr: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Header: IEaxHeader;
    HeaderPart: IEaxHeaderPart;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Expr := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS_REPORT").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    Header := Expr.Header;
    HeaderPart := Header.Center;
    HeaderPart.Font := New GxFont.Create("Times New Roman", 14);
    HeaderPart.Color := GxColor.FromName("Blue");
    HeaderPart.Text := "&[Name]";
    (Expr As IMetabaseObject).Save;
