control page breaks

[Guest]

I have a report that groups data by unit name. In some cases the unit name
appears at the bottom of a page and the data relating to that unit then
appears on the following page. I would like to set a rule that says units
will not be split accross pages, so the unit name always appears at the top
of a page. I don't want to have every unit appear on a separate page.
Sometimes there might be several units on a single page. Is there a way to do
this? In Word I would simply place manual page breaks where I want them but
Access doesn't do that as far as I can tell.

In the Report's Sorting and Grouping dialog, set the Group's Keep
Together property to either With First Detail or Whole Group.

Set the KeepTogether property of the **Group** (in Sorting
and Grouping) to Whole Group (or maybe With First Detail).
