controlling where the page breaks in reports

support1

I am working on a report for a customer and they are complaining that the page is breaking in such a way that some detail lines are being seperated from header lines. Is there any way that i can control when the page breaks?

That is quite difficult.
If you want to control it, you have to control the complete layout.
It is easier to reprint the header-record on the new page.

One method you could try, is counting lines.

Then, on after GetRecord do a:

IF NumberOfDetailLines > LinesRemainingOnPage then begin
  LinesRemainingOnPage := TotalLinesPerPage;
  Currreport.newpage;

Not pretty, but duable. HOWEVER what happens, if the number of details lines are greater than the number of lines on a page???

How about using a TransHeader / TransFooter - this will allow you to add a line on the top of each page, that tells them what 'master' record you are on. i.e. "Customer 10000 - The Cannon Group, continued..."[/code]
