I'm using Crystal reports 8 and I am have issues inserting a memo field that's larger than 256 characters into a group in order to keep it together with another detail section using the "Keep Group Together" function. Any ideas?

A memo field can be placed on the report canvas, but cannot be used in a formula, or as a group.
If you had posted your database type, we might be able to use a SQL Expression to CAST or CONVERT the field into the first 50 chars or some such for grouping.
So hit F1 and look up SQL Expressions, very powerful and the best solution short of creating a database object.
