I have a text field with &quot;Stretch With Overflow&quot; set.<br>Is there any way of ensuring the field is not split accross 2 pages, i.e. if<br>it is too large to fit at the bottom of one page it starts on the next page<br>- something like the &quot;Keep Together&quot; property you can assign to a paragraph<br>in a Word For Windows document.<br><br><A HREF="mailto:charles@allecom.com">charles@allecom.com</A><br>
 
The only thing I could think of is setting report variables to track what line you are on, then looking at the length of the field to be printed, and using both of these in the Print When feature.&nbsp;&nbsp;This sounds pretty yucky, and it is, because it may not be all that accurate. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br>
 
Same answer applies here as on our other posting.<br>Can you make a unique temp index on a set of fields in the same order the report is to be printed in?<br>if so create the index<br>on the report make a data group for that set of unque fields<br>in the Data Group select Start New Group on New Page when less then &quot;A value you want.&quot; <br> <p>David W.
