Hello I am from Germany, but I hope my English is not too bad.

I am working on a report with 4 bands.
a Master, one Detail and two SubDetail.

The detail-band should kept together with the first subdetail-band. The second subdetail-band should not.
If I use the KeepTogether-property all three bands are kept together.

subdetail-1 mostly has no data and subdetail-2 allways has data
The order of the bands coud not be changed.

The data-relations form detail to subdetail-1 is 1:n und detail to subdetail-2 is 1:1.

Does anybody have an idea to solve the problem?

    Maybe you could mimick the keep-together property for detail-band and first subdetail-band by using a query with a table join. This would give you what looks like a single record eliminating the first subdetail-band.

    @technisoft:
    This could be a solution. The program is not too big to change some structures.

    @austingrd:
    I hoped there is only a a property I have not seen yet. So I did not create a ticket.

    Thanks for your help

    The same problem happened to me:
    I have a detailband with a subdetailband consisting of 3 data records. The detailband has KeepTogether set to True.

    The detailband is printed on the bottom of the page and the 3 data records of the subdetailband are printed on the next page.
    Is this a bug or is there another setting, so that the detailband also starts on the next page to keep the bands together?
