    Subreport Do Not Keep Together


    I have a report that has many subreports that are set in different groups and all of them are set to "do not keep group together" (see Capture1) Also, all of the groups properties are set to Keep Together to "No" (see Capture2). However, when i preview the report, this subreport ends up keeping the data together and causes a huge white spot on the first page (see ReportPreview section Back-Up Contact Information). The subreport contains all of the text and data entry at the top of page 2. I would like at least the first paragraph to show up on the first page but can't get it to go there no matter what I try.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Is that first paragraph (3 lines) in its own textbox?

    So those paragraphs are each in a separate textbox and they are all in the same record - textboxes arranged vertically instead of horizontally.

    I have a report with multiple subreports (I force a new page after each subreport) but textboxes are all arranged horizontally. One report has memo field with very long narratives. When I set the subreport detail section to NOT keep together, it splits field at end of page. But set to keep together that same record does not split. Wish I had a record with narrative that is longer than one page, wonder what would happen.

    I figured out how to fix it. It just crossed my mind to make the text font slightly smaller (which I didn't really want to do) and now it is flowing and filling in that white space. I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
