I am a newcomer to Paradox 3.5, and I have a silly question about it.
I have searched the "Presenting Data" manual several times, but can't
find any help for my problem.
When designing a report in Paradox 3.5, is there any way to prevent a
lonely group header from printing at the bottom of a page when the first
record of that group appears on the next page?
Here's what I mean:
I would like to print a client address listing in the following format:
4/23/91 Client Listing Page 1
-A-
All-American Company
15 Your Street
Anytown, US 11111
Another Company
Box 15
Cleveland, OH 44444
-B-
Big Company
Address
City
...and so on. Everything is fine until, at the bottom of page 3,
this happens:
Final Company
Address
City
-G-
4/23/91 Client Listing Page 4
Good Company
Address
City
Great Company
Address
City
...and so forth.
Since there was no room for the first G record at the bottom of page 3,
that lonesome G group header shouldn't be there either--should it?
I've tried putting the PAGEBREAK command at various places in the
report form. Either it has no effect, or it causes every group to start
a new page, which I don't want.
Is there any way around this?
BTW, I used the "free-form" report. Would using the "tabular" version
(or
whatever the opposite of free-form is) make any difference?
Thanks.
