  Did you set the keeptogether prop of the group header?

  Yes. Already checked for those options.
  
  
  GroupHeader1.KeepTogether:=true;
  GroupHeader1.KeepChild:=False;
  MasterData1.KeepTogether:=true;
  MasterData1.KeepChild:=False;

  I continued to tweak with the settings and still can not get the widowed header in the 1st column to move to the 2nd column.
  
  I am using 3.10.

  'Keep' mechanism uses the common code in the FR engine. You can't keep more than 1 item, i.e. if you use keep group, you can't use keep master.

  Maybee I'm not seeing how to link this correctly.
  
  I removed all the KeepTogethers except for GroupHeader.
  
  It still doesn't move the group header to the 2nd column.
  
  The only thing I can do is select Reprint On New Page and it will put the group header on the top of the column again.

  Keep works only for new page, not for new column.

  I agree that it would seem logical that thats what it means. Yet......
  
  thats not what I see.
  
  Currently report is:
  
  Page Properties - 2 columns
  
  Report1 - Report
  ColumnHeader1 - ColumnHeader
  Breaks on a specific datafield
  GroupHeader1 - GroupHeader
  KeepTogether=True
  Reprint on New Page=True
  Header1 - Header
  MasterData1 - MasterData
  KeepTogether=False
  Footer1 - Footer
  GroupFooter1 - GroupFooter
  PageFooter1 - PageFooter
  
  
  I've tried about every combination and still no go.
