I am using the Crystal Reports edition bundled with Visual Studio 2005. I have a problem with a multi-column report. It is a two column member directory with family members. It lists the member name, contact info, spouse, and children. I want each family group to stay together, and not break cross a column or a page. Each group may have from 3 to a dozen or so lines.

The family groups will not break across a page (which is good), but they will break across a column (bad). I have tried many combinations of settings to make this work without success.

So I wonder if anyone has seen and resolved this problem, or if perhaps it works better in the full version of Crystal.

Thanx for the quick reply - these are exactly the steps I have taken in the Visual Studio designer. I do not have the standalone Crystal product (I tried to install it once as a trial version, but it screwed up my Visual Studio installation and I had to re-install everything).

Do you think that the standalone version would have different behavior than the bundled version in this regard?
