text box splitting across two pages

[PHisaw]

Hello,
I have a report with several text boxes in the detail section. There is a
page break after these boxes with more information on the next page. I also
have a subreport also in the detail section that is a datasheet that varies
in length and causes the text boxes to end up either on the first or second
page. The problem is when one of the text boxes is split horizontally
between the first and next page. I've tried margin settings, keep together,
force new page, and various combinations of all and nothing seems to work.
It doesn't happen everytime, but very frustrating when it does. I've
searched thru other posts and can't seem to find a solution for this exact
problem. If anyone has a solution, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Pam

Individual controls do not have a KeepTogether property,
only sections (and groups) have the KeepTogether property.
This means that each control (subreport, textbox, etc), or
set of controls, that you want to keep together on a page,
must be placed in it's own section.

To create additional sections, use Sorting and Grouping
(View menu) to create groups (with group header and footer
sections) on the record source primary key field. Then
spread the controls around the group headers, detail and
group footers and set the section's KeepTogether property as
needed.
