Keep together in Reports

Is there a way to keep fields together in a report (in the detail section) so if the report goes to a third page, the third page won't just be last field in the report? I know that there are keep together options for sections and a particular field, but I want to keep together different fields. Sort of like in Word where there is the option to keep with next. Thank you,

Dawn
 
Dawn,
A couple of "top of my head" options which might help:

(a) Perhaps (formatting permitting), you can concatenate the fields you want to keep together, so that they are reported from within the single field (with a keep together on it).

(b) If you artificially introduce one or more dummy group by section(s), then you can keep the fields in that group together this way.

(c) If you span a single dummy control across the report fields that you wish to keep together (perhaps a transparent box with transparent borders), this might force the fields to be locked together.

Perhaps you can find something useful in all of that,

Good luck,
Steve
