>>I have a report with a memo field placed in the Group Footer band. This memo field is set to 'stretch on overflow'. The report works quite well but yesterday, we had a special case with a very big text in this memo field (the text is a list of serial numbers), the memo stretched like expected but didn't continue on the next page !

That could be an option in VFP9 where multiple bands exists, but in VFP8 I had to resort to 'dummy' grouping. That's why my memo field is in the Group Footer band. And in this band, I can't display multiple records.

That's what I did for that particular report, but I want my report to be more robust for the future.
