How do I eliminate page breaks in summary report

I have a report form which contains a group band. I have setup the band to start each group on a new page. This works beautifully when I am printing the full report. However, our program offers the user an option to print summary information only. We are using the same report form for both, so when they choose this, we are getting one line (the summary line) per page. The user has said this is a waste of paper, and they would like the summary report to NOT break when the group changes.
The "start each group on a new page" property is set during design time. Is there any way that I can override this property as runtime?
One solution that occurs to me (and I don't even know if this will work) is to use the report form as a table (USE REPORT.FRX EXCLUSIVE) and replace the Pagebreak field for the grouping records (objtype = 9, objcode = 3), then change it back when I am done. I am loath to hack into the report as a table because of the potential for multiple users running the same report, one as summary and one as detail. There is also the usual peril of trashing the report. The other option I can think of is to create a completely separate report form just for the summary.

TIA,
Bill
