I have a report (CR10) with 3 groups. For the Section Expert, I have "Keep
Together" checked for all 3 header sections. In the Group Options I also
have "Keep Together" and "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" checked for all
groups. When the Group 2/Group 2 data exceeds one page for a new Group in
Group 1, I get a page with the new Group 1 header but nothing else - the
following page reapeats the Group 1 header and then (correctly) shows the
first part of the Group 2/Group 3 data.

How can I prevent that blank page?

Right click, Change group, second tab, keep group together.

What is the difference between the "Keep Together" in the "Change Group" and
the one in the "Section Expert"? It is very onfusing to have both.

Keep together in the section ensure the entire section (that is, the
group header) is kep on one page. Otherwise a multi line group header
could wind up on two pages.

Keep together in the group does it for the group as a whole (group
header, subgroups, details and group footers).

So they both have a purpose. However, it is odd that the one you are
most lilkely to want to use is 'hidden'.

Iain;

Thanks for that explination, it helps. I still see strange interactions
between them however. Oh well... I guess I just need to experiment when I
use them.
