There is a Subreport.KeepTogether property. Are you using this already? It
is not clear what your layout is like. Set this to true and it should do the
trick. Otherwise, you can place a group in your subreport based on the key
linking… -

Sorry for not getting you a solution earlier. I just created this code in
the group footer to expand it down the page to draw the lines from the last
detail to the top of the footer. I used the example demo 71 template that

Try this approach. I used DADE for the data access, but see the group
defined in the second subreport in teh demo in which you can toggle the
NewPage property to force a page break before the subreports print in the
detail band.

The PageBreak component should work in this case, though I have not tested
it in this scenario. Bruce Roberts (one of the authors of RBAddOn) and

calculates the Report.AbsolutePageCount before the report generates to the

The two lines of code change was all that is needed to convert the

this morning before I read your post and thought I had a great idea, but you

One solution to this problem is to daisy chain them together by placing each
