Grouping and page breaks

I've designed an 'activity report' that lists the "activity" of a particular person. In my report I have one group and one detail section.

My report looks a little something like this:
Group Header #1: [Group #1 Name]
Column headings: USERID Activity Date Reference
Details: JSMITH Phone Call 4/4/2004 Sale
Group Footer: Total activities for JSMITH

Now, the group is already breaking when the [Group #1 Name] changes, but I want it to start a new page for the next person.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance.
 
You need to group by USERID. Then right click the USERID group and format section.

Check the box for new page after.
 
I've tried this earlier, and while it does work, it puts several "blank pages" into the report. Any ideas on why it's doing this?
 
Do you have Keep Group Together checked?

Right click on the group, and choose change group. At the bottom, make sure Keep Group Together is not checked.

 
I did have "Keep Group Together" checked. When I uncheck, it prints on the same page.

When I had it checked, it did not - which is what I want. My problem is that it's inserting a blank page (w/the group header) before each "user" section.

I just noticed something. When I uncheck the "Keep together" box, it only groups the last two users together. Each of the others begin on a new page even if the entire page isn't utilized.
