New Page for each Detail (Record)?

edited July 2002 in General
Is it possible to force a page break for each record in the detail band?

I want to display a photo title, then the photo (taking up almost the entire
page) and then a description in a memo field. All the elements show up okay,
except that the title for photo #2 shows up at the bottom of the page
showing photo #1. That is, it doesn't start on the next page as I would like
it to.

Can I either force a page break, or somehow specify that all elements in the
detail band are to be "kept together"?

Thanks,

    To force a page break after each detail you can:

    1. Create a group around the detail band, set it on a custom invisible
    label, and implement the OnGetText event of the label returning a different
    value every time.
    2. Get the page break component from RBAddOn. See the friends page on the
    digimeta website.

    To force all the elements in the detail to print together put them all in a
    region component and set the component to KeepTogether.
