Was your GROUP based on RECNO() or something that causes it to break for every detail record? If so, the Report Writer lets you create a large detail band so it shouldn't be a problem to put everything into the detail band. You should also make sure the Page Footer isn't larger than you need. Otherwise, it will try to leave room for the footer. That may be what is happening with your current Group Header/Footer situation. It thinks that there isn't enough room to fit the Group Footer AND the page Footer so it goes to the next page.
