can group footer page break in the middle of footer? 1

[lpa]

Using CR 9.0

I have a report that is essentially a letter sent to physician staff when they are given hospital privileges. The data in the letter varies by doctor, and is based on dictionary's established in the software.

It has the following sections:

RH
PH
GH1a
GH1b
D
GF1

The GF1 line has a field in it that will vary in size (it is text depending on the record being selected), so the field displays only one line in the Design view, and the 'can grow' property is checked.

When the size of the field takes more space than is available at the bottom of the page, the entire GF1 prints on the next page, leaving white space at the bottom of the page.

Sample (numbers represent the ruler going down the page):

1 RH
. GH1a
. GH1b
. D
7 D
. White space begin
.
.
11

pg break

1 GF1 begin
.
.
.
5 GF1 end
.
. White space
.
11

What I want is:

1 RH
. GH1a
. GH1b
. D
7 D
8 GF1 begin
.
.
11 GF1 continued

pg break

1 GF1 continued
.
3 GF1 end
. white space to end
.
.
11


Solutions tried include setting the keep together on/off, same with group options, all with no luck.

Any thoughts?

Right click the object as it sites on the report.
Choose Format Field.
Under the Common Tab, deselect the option "Keep Object Together".

I tried this on my end and it worked like a charm.
