Formatting - To Display On Two Pages with Inserted lines

[Corres]

CR 9, TTX files

Hi to all experts!

The report has a frame that I did by inserting of lines and all the text and database objects of the report are inside of this frame. At the bottom of the report, there is a field “Comments” that can be 1 or 25 lines. I put field “Comments” at the report footer.

I have a problem:

If the field “Comments” has only 1-3 lines of text, the report displays perfectly on 1 page and frame from lines is displayed OK. If the field “Comments” has more than 4 lines, some of the comments are displayed on the second page, but the frame from the lines is broken. The bottom line of the frame is not displayed at the bottom of page 1 and top line of the report frame is missing on page 2, at the top of the report.

How to make the field “Comments” is displayed at the bottom of page 1 and on the second page and to keep the report frame from inserted lines be displayed on page 1 and page 2?

Thank you!

If it is a comment in the Report Footer, then right-click on the section and check 'Print at bottom of the page'.

If it occurs at a detail level and you want to stop the comments being split between pages, then Right-click, Format Field, choose the Common tab and check 'Keep Object Together'.

If you want the section entirely on one page or the next, that is harder. You could use Length({commentfield}) and some sort of line-count on the page.
