subreport header orphaned at bottom of page

Janelle B.

Hello all,

This should be an easy one - not quite sure why i can't
get it figured out.

I have a report that has 4 or 5 subreports on it. Each
subreport has its own header. I've figured out how to
get the subreport to repeat the header if it spans
multiple pages (by creating a group within the subreport
and setting its Repeat Section value to Yes), but in some
cases the subreport section header is orphaned at the
bottom of the page without any detail records. When you
switch to the next page the header repeats (just as i
want it to). How dow i keep the header info from being
orphaned? I've even set the group properties for the
subreport section to Keep Together with the first detail,
but that doesn't seem to work (maybe you can't use that
option with a subreport).

Any ideas?

I don't know what the problem could be, a group header with
KeepTogether set to With First Detail (in either a main or
sub report) has always worked for me. Is your situation
more comples that what you've described above?
