Brian responded to thread149-905801 with an almost perfect solution for my problem. My problem...
Group header is printed at bottom of page with no detail, and repeated on following page with the detail. I followed Brian's advice, and created a new header, placed detail fields in header, etc. The problem is that the last field in the detail is a memo field. To make this work correctly for me, it seems I need the runningtotal count to be on this final detail field but because it is a memo field I cannot do that. because i can't count that last field, the detail now splits inappropriately. for example:

bottom of page looks like this:
header A
detail 1

next page continues with:

header A
detail 2
detail 3 (memo field)

I need detail 1, 2 and 3 to stay together. Any ideas?

btw, i have crystal reports 11
 
Actually, the report is doing exactly what was intended--keeping at least one detail with the group header. If you want all details on the same page, then you SHOULD use report->group expert->keep group together.

Ahhhh...the one thing i didn't have was a group for the detail. once i created that, suppressed it and then went to report group expert and told it to keep that group together it worked perfectly.

THANK YOU!
