StartNewPage has No Effect

FR Gurus,

Please see the attached jpg. Here you notice that midway of the first page, Feb 19th starts. The problem is this date corresponds to a new building, which does not have a label until the second page.

I have the StartNewPage = "True" associated with the Building group, but it seems to have no effect.

I expect to see a blank area below the aggregate data of Blg407.

Please advise what I am doing wrong.

Attached is also the properties of the Building group header

Regards,
Monte Carver

    Now here is a question. After much futzing, and an unintended reboot (yes a BSOD). I load the report again, and now the GroupHeader break works.

    Why? Is this kind of behavior classic of Fast Reports?

    no it is not.
    it can happen when a report component has store in dfm set to true and after much "futzing"(changing and Previewing from the ide) and no saving of the delphi form the ide runs out of stack space and the 'bsod", occurs.
    usually on older delphi versions.

    I made some tests with MasterBand.StartNewPage := true and dbcross with few calcultaions in TotalRow.
    I enclose final result (JPG) and fr3 definition based on demo database.

    There are conditions where Groupheader and StartNewPage can result in some unresolvable situation. I had such a case recently but can't remember the exact details.
    However, after I figured out what happens it was quite logical and I can't see how it could be changed.

    Upon a while of reflaction I think that this problem (several agregate functions at a footer band) can be solved without using DBCross.
    I mean such a solution based on pure FastReport script:

    1. declare global array variables
    2. OnBeforePrint event for GroupHeader clear these tables
    3. OnBeforePrint event for MasterData gather values into these tables according to value in certain columns / memos on the band
    4. OnBeforePrint event for GroupFooter do necessary calculations and put their results in memos on GroupFooter band
