Hi,
 
we are on ver. 2008 crystal. I have a report that is grouped by 2 fields(VP and Directors). The report looks as follows:
 
VP: John Doe
 
Directors :
 
Test, One           999
Test, Two           999
Test, Three         999
 
Total by VP       9,999
 
Once in a while I get a page break and the VP and Directors heading is on one page and the list of directors on another page. My report looks as follows:
 
VP: John Doe
 
Directors :
 
followed on next page
 
Test, One           999
Test, Two           999
Test, Three         999
 
Total by VP       9,999
 
In a Section Expert I've checked off "Keep together" for all my sections and on group footer 1 for VP, I also have a formula for "Keep together' as follows :
 
if previous( mailto:%7b@vp_name_format%7d%29=%7b@vp_name_format - {@vp_name_format})={@vp_name_format }
     then true
else false
 
What do I do to at least have the 1st director on the first page as follows :
 
VP: John Doe
 
Directors :
 
Test, One           999
 
and on the next page
 
Test, Two           999
Test, Three         999
 
Total by VP       9,999
 
Thanks in advance.

create a GH1a
move your group header to GH1b
make GH1a tall enough to fit all of GH1b and 1 detail section
mark it as keep section togther as TRUE and 'underlay following sections' as true
