You have probably seen this:
http://www.databasedev.co.uk/naming_conv.htmlhowever, it does not specifically mention conventions for headers and footers. If I need to refer to them in a Report via code, then I use:
hdrSomeHeaderName
ftrSomeFooterName
etc.
And also not directly mentioned, but avoid using any of these special characters in object and field names:
Avoid using the following characters: ,.~!@#$%^&*()+-=|\:;'<>?/"`[
]{} including Spaces!
