I'm using the Crystal Reports in .NET. 1.1

I want my report to look as follows, with the contents of sub report A underlying sub reports B,C, and D.

<pre>
+--------------------------------+
| +-----------------------+
| | Z |
| +-----------------------+
| +--------+ +--------+
| | A | | B |
| | | +--------+
| | | +--------+
| | | | C |
| | | +--------+
| | | +--------+
| | | | D |
| +--------+ +--------+
|
</pre>

I have set up the report as follows

<pre>
+---------DETAIL SECTION a ------------+
| +-----------------------+
| | Z |
| +-----------------------+
+---------DETAIL SECTION b ------------+
| +--------+
| | A |
| +--------+
+---------DETAIL SECTION c ------------+
| +--------+
| | B |
| +--------+
+---------DETAIL SECTION d ------------+
| +--------+
| | C |
| +--------+
+---------DETAIL SECTION e ------------+
| +--------+
| | D |
| +--------+
|
</pre>

Detail section a is marked as can grow, not marked as Keep Together

Detail section b underlays everything below it

Subreport "Z" is marked as Can Grow, not marked as Keep Together

"A" contains rows of 60 character text fields, is marked as Can Grow, not marked as Keep Together

B, C, and D are marked as Can Grow, not marked as Keep together

I'm finding that when A is longer than would fit on a single page, B is pushed to the page where A **ends** - it could be 3-4 pages in some case

Can anyone help???
