I have a report that could have a variable # of lines per account. That is, some accounts may have a phone # or not. Some may have 2 people, others only 1. Some may have a 2 line address - some with a firm name, some not. Internally the file that is generating this report consists of 2 fields: an account # which will be the same for all records in the same account, and the actual info.

Doe, Mr. John
Doe, Mrs. Mary
123 Main Street
Top Floor
Anywhere, AA 11111
123-456-7890

Duck, Mr. Donald
Quacky Farm

Someplace, ZZ 22222

There is no visible group header or footer, but the data grouping is on the internal account #.

As far as I've read, the group header is orphaned when it doesn't have at least 1 detail record. The group footer is widowed when there is not enough room betwee the last detail line and the group footer.

In my case, I do not want to print the "account" (all lines of info pertaining to 1 account), unless I can print ALL the records before the page break. I realize this leaves blank lines at the end of the page, but the client wants the whole account to print together.

What can I do?

Thank you.
