Preventing Text Boxes from being Cut in the middle

A

Anatoly Kurilin

Hi, I have a report without Record Source which contains several subreports
and two rows of unbound text boxes in the detail section (text boxes a
situated beneath the subreports). It works fine except that when one row of
unbound boxes get on bottom of a page they are cut in the middle. I've tried
several tricks - created Record Source to the report containing one record
and added a bound text box beside the unbound text boxes but the bound text
box was also cut in the middle (?).

Theoretically, I need all these unbound box being moved to the next page if
one row gets on the bottom edge of the page but I would be satisfied if they
will be split without cutting in the middle.

Thank in advance,
AK

It sounds like you want to simulate a KeepTogether property
for aome text boxes. Unfortunately, only sections and
groups have this property. This means that you need to put
the text boxes in their own section.

Create a group level with footer on the record's primary key
field. Then move the text boxes to the group footer section
and set its KeepTogether property.
