Involuntary forced page break between sections.

hi,
It seems like Access 97 forces a page break between the Detail section and Group Footer section of a report.
why is that and is there a way to get rid of it?
I wouldn't use the Group Footer section but the Detail section is not long enough for the data that i need in the report.
In fact, it doesn't seem to matter what two sections i use to hold all of the controls that i need on my report. Right where there is a break between Group Header and Detail, or Detail and Group Footer, there is always a page break forced.
Can i override this somehow? I just want it all to look like a continuous report.

Just to continue, I have even checked to see that the sections (such as Detail, Group Footer, etc.) on the report have Force New Page set to none. And each of them has a Can Grow and a Can Shrink and i have set those properties to Yes.
I have also set the Keep Together property to No

any ideas?

Well, somehow i got the report to work so that it prints the controls without a forced page break.
I think that it was the "Keep Together" property and setting it to No.
Problem solved. Report works.
