Report problem: keeping group header together with detail records

99 New Member
I'm sure I knew how to do this once, but now I can't find the place to set it.

A report has a group header for Organisation and then a detail section for each Contact in that organisation. The report shows up just fine, except I don't want it to break a page in the midst of the detail records, or before they start.

That is, I don't want ...

ORGANISATION A
page break
Contact 1
Contact 2

and I don't want

ORGANISATION A
Contact 1
page break
Contact 2

The 'keep together' property SEEMS only to keep the bits of an Organisation together or the bits of a Contact.

Anyone know how I can keep the Organisation together with its Contacts (without forcing a page break before each new Organisation)?

In report design, click as shown in the image. This is for Access 2003.

Hi, Smiley! Well, your little pic looks very familiar ... I knew I knew how to do this back in 2005.

But ... Access 2007 doesn't seem to have the same facility, or at least not accessible in the same way as per your picture. When you click the groupy thing, your only options seem to be 'Add another group' or 'Choose a field to sort on'. Must be somewhere, I suppose ... I'll let you know if/when I find it.

If its any comfort I can't find anything in Access 2007 either. I haven't really started using it yet, since at work im using 2003, and I only have 2007 at home, but haven't really felt compelled to start exploring 2007.

Mmmm! I am 'compelled', as it's what my users will have! Actually, in general, apart from the awful Help system, 2007's quite good. Tracking down where things from 2003 have been moved to is a bit stressful and sometimes (as in this case) unsuccessful! I suppose it is a 'comfort' that you can't find it either, but it will be even more of a comfort when one of us does! If I do find it, I'll let you know.

Well here is a pic from 2007, where I managed to find the stuff.

Hope that helps.

I have a report with pages breaking in the middle of text box controls. And it's not just on a line-by-line basis, but sometimes (in a situation that I can no longer recreate) just the bottom portions of a line's letters were showing up at the top of a page. My experiments show that Access will ordinarily break before a text box if the whole thing won't fit, but I haven't been able to find a property that will control this behavior. I...

Dear read, In a detailed part of a report you can use a form as print layout. In case the number of record to be printed are not fit in one page the group header will print on top of the page and the details are printed on the next page.

I am printing a very basic report with a detail section from a query. When the detail prints out everything is duplicated. For example, if there should be two lines, there are four due to the duplicates. I have checked the source data and there are no duplicates in it. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? John

Hello, I have a database with a table of projects and a table of tasks (each project can have multiple tasks). I have a report that has a group header for the project name, etc., and then the tasks appear in the Detail section. Is it possible to have the project information in the group header show up on the report even if there are no tasks (i.e., no records in the Detail) for that project? How would I do that?
