Keeping Groups together

edited April 2007 in General
I'm using Delphi 7 and RB 9.02.

In my report I'm using two Groups. The first group I use to show a
Department name. The second group shows a list of users in that department.
My problem is that under certain conditions a Department name is shown at
the bottom of a report where there is no room for the user details. On the
next page the department name is shown again with the users underneath. Is
it possible to stop the department name from being shown if there isn't room
underneath for any user details ?

    Ian,

    In the groups dialog, you can check the "Keep Group Together" to keep the
    group together across pages or you can set the TppGroup.KeepTogether
    property to True. This is a fundemental feature of groups in ReportBuilder
    and can easily be found in the ReportBuilder help (RBuilder.hlp). I would
    also suggest spending some time with the ReportBuilder developer's guide
    located in the \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\... directory. This will give
    you the basic knowledge on how to create professional style report quickly
    and easily.
