My report has two group sections and of course the details section. Sometimes you can see the groups in the bottom of the page but the details are in the next page. How can I keep these together?

Right click the Group Header and select Change Group. Enable the Keep Group Together option. There is also a Keep Together option in the Format Section dialog, this is different than the Keep Group Together option.

The Keep Group Together will cause Crystal to start the Group on a new page if the entire group cannot fit onto the remainder of the page. This will solve your current problem but will possibly introduce new problems.

For instance lets' say your report can contain 60 lines. If one group(both headers, details and footers) contains 10 lines and the next group contains 51 lines. A new page is started, leaving 50 blank lines on the previous page.

Play around with the different Keep Together options, every group and section has one and each will affect the report in its own way. In my experience its tough to get every report exactly right, unless you always print a new group on a new page. Also, what works for one report may not work for another.
