I have a report that is rather long but very simple. It is just textboxes
with strings as well as many labels for things that don't ever change. It is
an 8 page contract that just fills in company name, address, etc. Very
simple. However, it is so long I have had to use footer sections to continue
the report. My detail section is set to not force a new page and not to keep
together. Same with my first footer section. Everything works perfect
except it forces a new page after the detail section even though I have it
set not to. Even stranger I moved the last label from the detail section to
the first footer section and it still stayed with the detail section and
forced a new page after the same label just as it was doing. Anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks.

Some other things to look for:

Check each section's and each grouping's KeepTogether
property.

Check every section's ForceNewPage property.

Make sure you do not have a page break control in the
section that's moving to a new page. The fact that the
moved label stayed on the same page kind of implies that
there's a page break control between the label and the
following text box. These can be difficult to see so you
should select the first control and use the Tab key to move
through all the controls. If that jumps to a different
section before selectin each and every control, then click
bach on the first control and use Shift Tab to go through
the control in the other direction.
