Group footer behaviour V10

I have a number of group footer lines (all for one group) on my report.____The report seems to jump to a new page if it cant fit all of the group footer lines onto the current page (usually because there are multiple record lines).____I^d like to print the footer at the end of the record band regardless and flow the footer onto the next page if necessary.____I^m sure I^ve done this before but fiddling around with settings like record layout etc doesnt seem to be getting me anywhere.____An overview of the report structure is____3 Page header lines__17 group header lines (1 is variable height-contains a full address)__1 record line (1-50 records)__28 group footer lines

R&R does try to keep all of a footer on the same page. So the trick is to use the same group field mutliple times. So instead of having custno as group1 and 28 group 1 footers, you make groups 1-8 all the same field custno. Then you use 4 group 8 footers,4 group 7 footers and so forth. All of these groups will break at the same time but R&R will only try to keep the lines for the individual group levels together.__This might help in this case.____Kathleen__R&R Support
