Keeping report elements together

[MatMac]

Hi. I have a set of report elements which I would like to keep together - NOT breaking across the page.

These report elements comprise some boxes, lines, labels, a couple of unbound fields, and a subreport. They are hence of variable size according to the number of records in the subreport.

I can't seem to find any way of specifying that these elements should not break across a page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks - Mat.

Click on the group header or footer and one of the properties you will see is 'keep together' set this to yes.

They do not comprise a "Group". If you know how to make them into a goup, let me know. I tried Format/Group, that that type of group does not have any such options associated. M.

try experimenting with sorting and grouping, If necessary create a dummy group with a header and footer and place all the objects to be kept together between the group header and footer.

How do I create a dummy group?

add a fixed constant to your query and group on that. Here is an example of one constant field and a field from a table
SELECT "Dummygroup" as Dummygroup , Field1 FROM TblTest.

Then you create a group on the Dummygroup Field
