Detail a and b sections-How to keep together

[harding1031]

I have a detail 'a' and 'b' section. The 'b' contains the error message for section 'a' data. I put the error message in 'b' because it is 50 positions long so it needed to be on a row by itself and i did not want to waste space by displaying the error message 50 position if it spaces, so I created a 'b' detail section so that I can suppress if no error message. The problem is sometime the error message is on the next page. Can I force the a and b section to stay together so that the error message is always on the the same page as the data. TIA.

Sure.

Report menu, Section Expert.
Highlight Details (not Details a or Details b), and set the Keep Together property.
THis will force the whole details to stay together.
