Unwanted page breaks

[bigriff]

I can't figure this out- basically I don't want any page breaks if there is a
simple way to remove "all".

I have a report with 10 memo fields per date (10/1, 10/2, 10/3 etc.) and they
each grow or shrink. There is no footer. As it is now the page breaks appear
seemingly without logic. Occassionally splitting and leaving a 1/2 to 3/4
page blank restarting on the date field- otherwise it continues them one
after the other as desired (and I expected it would do). What causes this? Ho
do I manage it?

It would be nice to prevent each memo field from splitting, but that is a
secondary concern... I have to have the data continous from day to day
without the random breaks.

Thanks

Seemingly random page breaks are usually because one or more
sections and/or groups have their KeepTogether property set.

To get individual text box to stay together, you need to put
them in their own section and set the section's KeepTogether
property to Yes. You can create extra sections by creating
extra groups. The groups would be based on either a
constant expression (e.g. =1) or on the detail record's PK
field depending on what else you are doing in Sorting and
Grouping. If you need 8 additional sections for this
purpose, create 4 groups with both header and footers.
