Hi!

You can try to solve this on the level of the data. Make account as a single record, 2 or more items for that acocunt - in different additional fields or just collected into the single multi-line memo. So instead of grouping you will have entire account in a single detail band.

>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.

>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.
