  Hi, let me describe how I want my report to look and act.
  My two tables are in a Master Detail relationship.
  
  Static Report Heading: At Top Of Every Page
  
  Master Heading(contains data from master table): As long as their are
  detail records
  
  Static Detail Heading: As long as their are detail records
  
  Record
  Record
  Record
  ...
  
  
  Static Heading: At Top Of Every Page
  
  Master Heading: As long as their are detail records
  
  Detail Heading: As long as their are detail records
  
  Record
  Record
  ...
  etc.
  
  No band should split across pages.
  Can I test the vertical size of the detail band and then decide weather
  I want to let it split or print fully on the next page?
  
  How Do I do this?
  
  TIA, Darin

  Sorry, for not responding sooner.
  
  1. Create a main report with a header/detail/footer.
  2. Connect the Report.DataPipeline to the master.
  3. Add a group to print for each master record and set reprint on
  subsequent pages to true. You can optionally set KeepTogether to true.
  
  4. Add a subreport to the detail band. Optionally set
  subreport.KeepTogether to true.
  5. Connect the subreport to the detail data.
  6. Access the workspace for the subreport and remove the title and
  summary. Note: Rather than a group on the main report, you can probably
  add a group to the subreport instead - your preference.
  7.
