Can I force a group to start on the first Page

rbuser

I have a report with the following layout
Group Header A
Group Header B
Detail
Group Footer C

Group B will not fit on a page
I have GroupB.KeepTogether = True
GroupC.KeepTogether = False

Group HeaderA is very small (two lines), so I want GroupB to start on the
first page (eventhough it cannot fit)

But I want to use the KeepTogther property for all subsequent pages.

Try setting the Group B KeepTogether to false. Use the AfterPrint event of
the group footer band to set the KeepTogether to true. This way only the
first group won't keep together and all the others will.

You can access the groups at runtime via the group object declared in your
form, or via the Report.Groups[] array property.

Does this imply that GroupB Must have a footer (It Doesn't)?

Sorry, my mistake. Try setting the GroupB.KeepTogether by using the event
handler for the GroupB.AfterGroupBreak event.
