I have three groups.
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3

For every 'group 2' value change I want to start a new page. My efforts to find a solution are not successful.

Any help will be appreciated.

 
In the design window, right click to the left of the group footer and select format group. Click the "New page after" checkbox. To the right of that checkbox is a button labeled "X-2". This is for conditional formatting. Click on the button and put the statement 'Not OnLastRecord' there if you do not get an extra page after the last group.

When I do like you suggested then then a new page is created even before group 3 is printed. I want group 1, group 2 and group 3 printed. Then start a new page when group 2 value is changed but print group 3 on the same new page together with group 2.
 
When you say "Then start a new page when group 2 value is changed " you first need to refer to some value in the Group 2 that will indicate whether the group HAS actually changed.

What you should do is in the "x-2" box something like this:

if (myVariable)<>(PreviousValue)

Let me know
