Hi Cathy -
Any thoughts on how to keep a group together so it doesn't split over a page boundary? Recno() works for the detail band but what about a group band?

>1. Create a data group with an expression of RECNO().

>I have a report with a tall detail band of about 1/4 page height. Thus after the headers I normally get 3 records per page. If some of the data associated with the early records causes the controls to stretch, it forces a portion of the last record to split and run over onto the next page. I'd like to avoid this behaviour and start a new page if there is not enough room for the entire record. Any ideas on how to do this?
