With First Detail - Unexpected Results

C

croy

When I select "With first detail" in the "Keep together"
property in the Sorting and Grouping dialog, the results are
more in keeping with what I would expect from selecting
"No". In other words, the result is that if there isn't
room for all the details on the current page, they get
bumped to the next page.

I'm trying to get a lenthy (50 - 100 pages) report to print
on fewer pages. When I don't use the "With first detail"
setting, a 100 page report drops to about 60 pages. But of
course, I then get orphaned headers at the bottom of some
pages--not a show-stopper, but it *seems* like I should be
able to get the "With first detail" setting to work.

This is on a report containing two sub-reports, with no
"Before section" or "After section" settings in any of the
report or subreports, and only one "Keep together=Yes"
setting (for the main report header section), in Access
2002, on a fully patched, Windows XP machine.

Does anyone here know if there's a bug or problem with the
"With first detail" setting in Sorting and Grouping? Or
something I might be overlooking?
