Multi-Column Report Issue

[#1]

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.

I probably should gave given more info about the report structure. The 'Details' section is broken up into 7 sub-sections, so I can separately suppress those with no data. Each section (and the main 'Details' container) have the 'Keep Together' property set. The individual sections do stay together - the problem is that the main 'Details' container breaks across columns.

Hi

The steps those I mentioned, can be applied in Bundled version also.

You can give it a try. If that does not work, then we can think about other possible workarounds.
