  I have a report with a single grouping and two detail rows per record. (One landscape page isn't wide enough to fit all the data the user wants.)

  For the most part it works fine except for the page breaks, it looks something like:

  Header

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  Detail 1

  Page 2

  Header

  Detail 2

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  _______________________

  And really I like everything about the report except how have of a detail will show up on page one and the other half on page 2.

  I've tried a table property 'Keep together' and it doesn't seem to be having any effect.

  Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or a different method of doing things to this from happening?

  It looks Like the 'Keep Together' works if you set up the table layout differently

  Header

  Group 1

  Detail 2

  Group 2

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  Group 3

  Detail 1

  Detail 2

  Group 4

  However I ended up telling it to group on a customer id and a transaction time, which for this system will ALWAYS be unique, but it seems to be working fine now.
