    Resolved [RESOLVED] Keeping multiple sections together in CRX

    Hello all,
    I'd like to be able to prevent multiple sections from spanning across pages. Much like each section's "Keep together" attribute, but applying to multiple sections, so that if the details section extends into the next page, the group header will automatically go to the next page, so the information isn't broken. Sometimes in my 20-page report I find that one of the group headers (i have four groups) displays on the bottom on one page and the details follow on the second. I'd like to prevent this - so the socument looks more organized. Also if the details MUST span to the next page, is there any way I can display a group header again on page 2 and add a word "cont" to it or something similar.

    Both these options can be set in the Group Expert. Use the Change Group menu command to access this screen. Then set the "Keep Together" and "Repeat Header on New Page" options.

    There is a function called "InRepeatedGroupHeader" which returns True when a group spans multiple pages. Use it to determine whether or not to add the "Cont." string.
