Subreport Keep Together troubles

[chris.williams]

I have a main form with several subreports. The reports are several pages long. Ideally, I would like to keep a subreport intact and not have it span pages unless there is a great deal of white space.



However, right now, I would be happy just to have them stay together at all. I have set the Keep Together to "Yes" on all subreports and the main report is set to no. Here is what the report looks like as well as the property settings for each section of the subreports.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

There are lots of answers out there on the web, but they are all poorly written. I did find this writeup/explanation and it is clear. This is the solution:

There is a KeepTotgether property for groups, which is not
useful in this case. The only other KeepTogether is for
individual sections. This means that each subreport needs
to be in its own main report section.

This can be done by creating 5 groups (in Sorting and
Grouping - View menu) on the same field that is used to sort
the main report records. (If the main report is unbound,
group on constant expressions such as =1). Specfy Yes for
both these dummy group's Header and Footer sections. Then
put each subreport in a separate group header and footer
section and set these section's KeepTogether property to
Yes.
