I use Crystal XI and Visual basic.
One of details section has database fields, which repeated one or more times.
I do not want section to be broken on to the middle and continue display value on to the next page.
Sure if section 2 is bigger than page let it broke, but in situation when section has like 10 values and begins on to the bottom of page one, I want whole section appears on to the next page.

Example:
Section detail 1: How you doing?
Section detail 2 : Good
Not to bad
I do not know yet

Currently I have situation: Page 1
How you doing?
Good
Not to bad
Page brake ------------------------------
Page 2
I do not know yet

I do want in case like that display Section1 and Section 2 on to the page 2

Section 1 marked as Suppress if duplicated.
And that make another problem for me – if values in section 2 make section bigger than page, I need to display section 1 on to the next page.
Like:
How you doing? (Continue)

Thank you.

Alex, you should really be posting in one of the four Crystal Reports forums--this one is for Crystal Enterprise.

Also, it would help if you referred to the actual section you are working with--are these really detail sections or are they group sections?

First, go to the section expert and highlight the section and check "Keep together". If you have a detail_a and detail_b and you want them always to appear together, then select the higher order Details section just above them and again check "keep together". If you want an entire group to keep together, go to report->group expert->options and check "Keep group together".

Thank you, LB
I'll change forum, but your suggestion really helps.
Reason I use that forum, because a version we have is 11…
